II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."
Meditation
"And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against Me." Jeremiah 33:8
Little children, can you not discern His Plan of the Ages and grasp in a measure that LOVE which took Him to the Cross and Darkness' hour upon His soul, that you and I might LIFE abundant have, and rise in glory-triumph to the peaks uplit by LOVEtranscendent in its scope?… Then ban through time unending all thought, creed, and word which casts into the mire His blood which bought you, and seeks to vilify His LOVE which brought you into being.
"And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith." Luke 17:5
"Lord, increase our faith," said the disciples to their Master! And what was the Lord's reply? (He gave them the KEY, yet how few of even the clergy have ever understood His reply!) In substance He replied; "When a hired servant has toiled all day, does his master thank him? Assuredly not! He has done but his duty! Instead, he tells him to get a hustle on and prepare something for his master to eat; AFTER THAT shall the servant also be privileged to partake (of nourishment)!" (Lk. 17:8).
"WISDOM is a defense...but the excellency of KNOWLEDGE is that WISDOM GIVES LIFE TO THOSE WHO POSSESS IT." Ecclesiastes 7:12
