Nothing gives such a sense of littleness as being in the presence of the Father, and Him who bore all the wrath due to me. What is a cipher? Put a unit or ciphers behind it, all go for nothing. It is the unit before it that gives the value. All the value of what Christ is comes out alongside of us.
Is the life you are leading down here expressive of fellowship with the Father and the Son? There may be infirmity in the walk. I do not say must be, but may be. We want to be more simple. Are we walking in the light? It is the light makes visible what is the darkness. We may be walking through dark thickets, but there is light overhead. The darkness is shown in a thousand different little ways. G. J.
