A Life to Strive For

The secret of the success of the Apostles lay not in what they did and said, but in the presence of Christ in them and with them. They saw with the eyes of Christ, felt with His heart, and worked with His energies. They were nothing; Christ was everything. Christ was living, breathing, and triumphing in their personal lives. Their entire nature being replete with His life, their spirits bathed in His light, and their souls kindled with the fires of His love, they moved in the midst of men as embodiments of supernatural power. Brethren, this is what we must be...But to be this, the throne of grace must be our refuge, the secret place of the Most High must be our daily and hourly habitation. ~Griffith John
