Today in the mail I received a warmly written card from a dear sister very far away.
Inside on a slip of delicate paper I found this penned gracefully in purple:
"The saint who is intimate with Jesus will never leave impressions of himself, but only the impression that Jesus is having unhindered way, because the last abyss of his nature has been satisfied by Him. The only impression left by such a life is that of the strong calm sanity that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him."
~ Oswald Chambers
My Utmost for His Highest - January 7
Deeply, I am challenged by reading this. For more often than not I am all hindrance instead. . .
To have every crumb and corner of myself filled with His presence.
For transparency. For Him to have unhindered way.
For these things I pray.
