Building and being ...


Psalm 36:9 

For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

 

Building and being …

 

To depend upon the soul to carry the Spirit’s wishes

is depending on the natural to operate beyond itself

 

The natural, the full human side ... is flesh self-glorified

and to goodness petrified ... burning out before it helps

 

However supernatural in Christ ... is goodness personified

resting on what is right ... reaching deep within Himself

 

God will not use the natural ... to share His Holy Glory

as love unrestricted ... flows from the “Fountain’s Well”
