This is very helpful.. It is saying Our focus shifts from what is wrong with everyone and everything, to what is in me that is out of alignment with the will and purpose of God? I think when this happens you see just how big the log is in your eye....you wonder at how blind you've been. But a log has a large surface area. It is the interplay of the will of man and the will of God that brings about an end to self-rule. Often the fulfillment of our desires becomes the catalyst that exposes the man of sin and brings about the humility necessary for the life of Christ life to emerge. If there is something other than Christ ruling in any area of our life there is no better way to be set free than for God to turn us over to our hearts desire. This is the travail given to the sons of man to be humbled by it. The Lord has chastened me sore but He has not given me over unto death. Psalm 118:18 I see that I have never really loved God....I seem to just lean on Him... But I want to love Him back with His own love. This really is my heart's desire. Thanks so much.

Thanks again.....He is entirely separating me from self (this man of sin) into union with Him with His gentle love... His jealous love is indeed very gentle...I find I'm responding through surrender. Blessings, Maria. This is so clear Doug.

He's in the 'exposing business' to unveil and reveal Himself within us. So, coming to that place of surrender is the best response to this process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVlod4SdLD8&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=AVGxdCwVVULXcKWPuDig7ovr2BsgyL2Afa Here are some of the lyrics: Lovely traces I can sense You in everything The way that You move me Takes me far away I seek no escape I'm dreaming through Your eyes I am wandering through Your mind I'm overtaken by the way that You deliver me I'm transcended There's no place I'd rather be Than here in Heaven Without You I'm incomplete It's hopeless (chorus) You consume me, You consume me Like a burning flame running through my veins You consume me moving through me Anytime, anyplace You invade my space You consume me, You consume me Wholly devoted I immerse myself in You Baptize me in Your love Cause drowning in the thought of You Floods my soul I'm taken by the things You do God, You know It doesn't matter what I lose I'm Yours The song below is pretty much, in a nutshell, what you’re saying.

Here are some of the lyrics:

Lovely traces
I can sense You in everything
The way that You move me
Takes me far away
I seek no escape
I’m dreaming through Your eyes
I am wandering through Your mind
I’m overtaken by the way that You deliver me
I’m transcended
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than here in Heaven
Without You I’m incomplete
It’s hopeless

(chorus)
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me

Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in You
Baptize me in Your love
Cause drowning in the thought of You
Floods my soul
I’m taken by the things You do
God, You know
It doesn’t matter what I lose
I’m Yours
