God Makes Us Rejoice and Give Thanks as We Look Forward to What He Will Accomplish ㅡ

 “Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;

 Giving thanks to the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:”

 (Colossians 1:11~12)

We are now being fitted up to dwell in the mansions which Christ has gone to prepare for those who love Him.

The more you talk faith, the more faith you will have.

The more you dwell upon discouragement, talking to others about your trials and enlarging upon them, to enlist the sympathy which you crave, the more discouragements and trials you will have.

We are preparing for promotion from the school in this world, in which we are forming characters for the future, immortal life, to the higher grade, the school of heaven.

But man is not to depend upon his own finite strength to wrestle with difficulty.

In faith he is to look to God, believing that all the resources of heaven are at his command to help him overcome.

Thousands upon thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand of heavenly angels are ministering unto those who shall be heirs of salvation.

God is inviting us to close the windows of the soul earthward and open them heavenward, that He may flood our hearts with the glory which is shining across the threshold of heaven.

 (In Heavenly Places 247)
