All my young life I’ve been searching for something. Consistently unsatisfied with the things I approach; with the direction they are going–they never last; they never have absolute value; they never have true honor; they never have lasting glory; they always die.
I want to be in something eternal, but I don’t trust it. So I hold on… to save myself.
“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
‘For yet a little while,
And he who is coming will come and not tarry.
Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.’ ” -to the Hebrews
The cure of this restless heart lies in the confidence of it’s confession.
Do I trust this God? I do not understand Him, how can I endure His will?
Do I believe the words of His son? Do I know Him?
I must.
Sanctification

At all times, Christ, my Lord and Savior, is breaking me or preparing me for brokenness and healing me or preparing me for healing. The passing events of this world are nothing new, but for those in Christ, our sanctification is the Father’s will.

Because of our only-revealed understanding of God’s will and His intentions therein, it makes it nearly impossible to judge any other person (we do not see their relationship to the Father nor His will in their life, granted only by limited revelation) except by common sense, the sensitivity of the community in which they live and God’s directives for that community as a whole.

Not as a general (of any particular persons on earth) because he cannot sacrifice his nationality or men, but as one who can speak to all with understanding and sympathy and still work only towards the will of God, with complete impartiality.
