From My Utmost: The only thing that will enable me to enjoy the disagreeable is the keen enthusiasm of letting the life of the Son of God manifest itself in me. No matter how disagreeable a thing may be, say - "Lord, I am delighted to obey Thee in this matter," and instantly the Son of God will press to the front, and there will be manifested in my human life that which glorifies Jesus. There must be no debate. The moment you obey the light, the Son of God presses through you in that particular… You must keep yourself fit to let the life of the Son of God be manifested, and you cannot keep yourself fit if you give way to self-pity… If God puts you there, He is amply sufficient.
O, Lord, You ARE enough! You are everything I ever need, ongoingly available to me in the moment, all lined up one after the next and the next and the next. You are my portion—“that which is allotted to me,” the ALL of You is my inheritance. I can spend You—You cannot be squandered or frittered away! “Tax Me! See if you can!” You are my Refuge, my Stronghold, my High Tower, my Deliverer, my Way, my Purpose, my Life. Though the path seem demanding or boring, You are my Enough.
Stumble It!
