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."

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." II Corinthians 3:18
Shall the weight of your willfulness forever tear at the bleeding wounds in Hands and Feet? Or the lance of your sin continue to pierce the Savior's Side?
The Glorified yearningly waits for the children of men to "come into their right mind" (Mk. 5:15). Is it not sufficient that man has "lived in the tombs, cutting and tearing himself" these almost 1970 years, without your adding to its measure in length or depth?
It is so delightfully simple to live as a "beloved son" or daughter of Jesus Christ. Then does the glory of your life intensify from year to year.
