Heart Work
True separation is heart work. It is not a code of rules but a blessed Person before the soul. The Lord Jesus fills the heart and guides the feet to follow Him, for He once walked here as the rejected One. He was, and is, the truly separated One — now in glory — the captain of our salvation, bringing many sons home to that glory. If separation is only a formal thing, it leads to pride and self-satisfaction, which is distasteful to God. True separation is produced by the love of Christ constraining the heart, and this is acceptable and well-pleasing to Him. It is first to Christ, and then from anything that is not pleasing to Him. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:44For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. (John 5:4)).
G. H. Hayhoe
