The disciple who abides in Jesus is the will of God, and his apparently free choices are God's foreordained decrees. Mysterious? Logically contradictory and absurd? Yes, but a glorious truth to a saint.
-Oswald Chambers, devotional reading for June 7, My Utmost for His Highest
The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.
-C. S. Lewis
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
-Matthew 11:28-30, King James Version |
