• “They only did what God permitted them to do, which enabled me always to keep God in sight… When we suffer, we should always remember that God inflicts the blow. Wicked men, it is true, are not infrequently His instruments; and the fact does not diminish, but simply develops their wickedness. But when we are so mentally disposed that we love the strokes we suffer, regarding them as coming from God, and as expressions of what He sees best for us, we are then in the proper state to look forgivingly and kindly upon the subordinate instrument which He permits to smite us.” – Madame Guyon

The Secret Depths by Michelle

There used to be this secret place
     that I harbored grief and despair.
My own little refuge where I was
    bound by grudging and resentments.
A secret place I called my own
    full of bitterness and anger.
 
But now….
                ….old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  2 Cor. 5:17 
 
There is this place in which
    I enjoy the secret riches of Christ.  Is. 45:3
My refuge, my hightower
    a stronghold in the storms of life.  Nah. 1:7
A secret place filled with
   Christ within, my hope of glory. Col. 1:27
 
A wellspring of life.
Rest for the weary.
Hope for the hurting.
 
My Deliverer from Evil.
My Rescuer in the Night.
Christ Jesus,
And in Him Alone
I am able to stand.
 
So bury the hatchet and marry Christ, He is Lord of all in this life. 
 
Pursue peace with all men.
Bring honour, where honour is due.
 
Count it all dung, so that I may win Christ.
 
So turn to Christ and let Him be your Saviour instead of  YOU.
