How misunderstood God’s judgements are…..Yes, I do know them …He has never let me get away with one thing, no not one. What Love!! What care!! How watchful He is…What safety, what security….How He must love me…and with every stroke of that rod I can only agree….He is a wise Father….His correction has become quieter, and my ear more attentive, my step quicker to obey….His rod takes many forms and is my comfort …How misunderstood His Spirit, His comforter is….His sons and daughters know His dealing and His leading.
(Beginning quote) …It is here that I shall manifest Myself to him as Lord—the Lord of Judgment. And I will sit on the throne of his heart and judge his words and his works and he will share in the afflictions and the chastisements which I have ordained for him who would be manifested to the world as a son of God, a joint-heir with Me and worthy to be called My brother…(End Quote)
If we willingly share His cup, this cup of suffering, we are His joint heirs and are well known by Him as brothers and sisters……Oh!! how long it takes to come to the willing part, the surrender part. and how I have struggled to save something that is so utterly putrid and worthless, a weighty, rotten carcas….Now I have surrendered I realise how blind I have been, groping about in darkness. I only knew my Father as a young willful child and have not honoured His Son as Lord…..It is only the Spirit that rises up from those waters as it is completely severed from the weight of the flesh. .We can only know Him and be known by Him as Spirit and only know our brothers and sisters as Spirit….now we can merge as One….and in this He truly is glorified.
