The Lord Jesus says to us;  ‘Pray for those who compel you to carry burdens.’  Don’t talk about them to others,

He has come to our garden.  He has asked for one of our sweetest flowers.  Do we grudge Him that flower? 

We need to spend time alone with Him, so that He can make us strong to live undefeated by temptation, and triumphant over circumstances.

Our Lord is always asking the impossible of us.  He is always trusting us to rise to it.  And best of all, He is always standing alongside to make the impossible possible. 

…to be forgiven is to be strengthened

Our little, constant communications of love give real joy to our Father’s heart.

A murmuring spirit is like a fretting leprosy.  It can only end in destruction.

‘Put to death your earthward inclinations’

Babes in Christ are nursed, not crucified.  They have certain liberties – Thou walkest whither thou wouldest.  But when they grow up into spiritual manhood all that is changed.  

 We cannot give them what we have not got ourselves.
