While growing in faith, it is common for the Christian mystic to feel tired, out of control and powerless. God grants the endurance necessary to see this new life to the end. Running the race takes self-control, endurance, and tenaciousness to stretch out in the direction of the finish line.
Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace] (James 1:3 AMP).
One can only help others when they are strong enough to walk their own healing path that leads to God.
But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it (Matthew 7:14 NLT).
Christian mystics cannot rescue or fix someone else’s problem. They must become examples of stellar behavior.
Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children… (3 John 11b NLT).
It only takes a moment to impact someone FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE! Be ready.
So submit to [the authority of] God (James 4:7a AMP).
The Lord is a great and mighty God. His attention to detail is astounding!
