Foundations

I came across a beautiful essay titled, "The Foundations of an Exemplary Christian Life," written by T. Austin-Sparks. It is evident that the Spirit was pouring greatly through Spark's while he was composing. Here's a passage that resonated strongly with my surrendered heart:

After all, the Lord does not accept our head knowledge of Christianity and all its aspects. The Lord does not accept all our informed mind about the church and the cross and what not. The Lord looks right into our hearts, and says, "How much have I got of you? How much are you still holding on to your own way and your own will, your own course and your own programme and your own interests? I do not ask how much you have got into your head, but how much have I got of your heart?"

May the Lord have our whole hearts.

Agape,
