[Hide] (24.1MB, 500x500, 03:14) And John Owen. Those who have faith in God, knowing his mercy everlasting and he is all love. Unlike mankind who is unloving, God is not like us. Those who wait for the Lord. Pray always pray beneath sin's heaviest load, prayer sees the blood from Jesus side that flowed.
TWO people I could name who gave up before getting over the hill because of porn. They can't quit porn therefore they don't want God. Really what they've done is choose porn over eternal life. "But I can't give up porn!" You think God doesn't know that!?
Let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man. (II Samuel 24)
What a sad state of affairs if people would only accept reality. That of eternity. That mindset. It'll solve all the pettiness.
Jesus hath now many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, but few bearers of His Cross. Many He hath that are desirous of consolation, but few of tribulation. Many He findeth that share His table, but few His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to endure any thing for Him. Many follow Jesus unto the breaking of bread: but few to the drinking of the Cup of His Passion. Many reverence His miracles, few follow the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities befall them. Many praise and bless Him, so long as they receive any consolations from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself, and leave them but a little while, they fall either into complaining, or into too much dejection of mind.
But they who love Jesus for the sake of Jesus, and not for some special comfort of their own, bless Him in all tribulation and anguish of heart, as well as in the highest comfort, as well as in the highest comfort. Yea, although He should never be willing to give them comfort, Himself notwithstanding they would ever praise, and wish to be always giving thanks. O how powerful is the pure love of Jesus, which is mixed with no self-interest, or self-love!
