Today we will explore the beginning of Self Abandonment.. Lecture..
Week after week, as I take this platform, I know what I want to say. It is merely finding out how to say it so that it is intelligible, for we are dealing with a mystery. It’s not something you can spell out and say, “Now this is it.”
Takeaway:
- I know what I want.. But I don’t know how I will come to be..
- It’s not something you can spell out and say, “Now this is it.”
It’s peculiar, the most fantastic mystery in the world. To me, to experience Scripture, to experience God’s plan of salvation, is my interpretation of the whole purpose of life. That is what I firmly believe. I firmly believe that the roots of our ‘being’ are rooted in God, and God unfolds Himself creatively in us.
When I make that statement, I put myself on the side of that which is being transformed, say, a man. For metamorphosis is the theme of the Bible. That is the complete transformation of man into God. When I make a statement as I have just made it, it seems that this is man, you and I are the man, being transformed by a means other than ourselves, and I don’t mean that at all. But man is so conditioned to believe he is a little worm that you approach it from that angle. You and I are the God transforming man into our image, into our likeness.
Takeaway
- whatever happens… is… the most fantastic mystery.
- I put myself on the side of that which is being transformed, say, a man. (…or this post… -whatever it is I am doing… )
- You and I are the God transforming man into our image, into our likeness.
For those that don’t
like the scripture that Neville is constantly sharing .. Like – I firmly believe that the roots of our ‘being’ are
rooted in God, and God unfolds Himself creatively in us.
Feel free to ignore it… For now… and notice the most fantastic mystery YOU are
experiencing now…
One mystery for me
is this blog post, by business, my… The mystery of how will it transform in to something useful or
not…
Here is the next bit Neville shares…
When I make that statement, (… God unfolds Himself creatively in
us… )I put myself on the side of that
which is being transformed, say, a man.
Cool bit there..
…I put myself on the side of that which is being transformed….
What is being transformed??
Red what Neville said carefully…
It seems that this is man, you and I are the man, being transformed by a means other than ourselves, and I don’t mean that at all.
But man is so conditioned to believe he is a little worm that you approach it from that angle.
You and I are the God transforming man into our image, into our likeness.
Taking his previous statement.. I put myself on the side of that which is being transformed, say, a man…
You can replace man.. With anything… Because You and I are the transforming man into our image, into our likeness..
In my example ‘man’ it is thig blog… my business…
