We can do without anything while we have God. Hallelujah! Nor is this all. WE CAN DO WITHOUT ANYTHING WHILE WE HAVE GOD HOLLELUJA NOR IS THIS ALL
oss to keep when God says 'give'. For here again death is the gate of life: it is an entering in, not a going forth only; it means a liberating of new powers as the former treasures float away like the dying petals. We cannot feel a consciousness of death: the words are a contradiction in terms. If we had literally passed out of this world into the next we should not feel dead, we should only be conscious of a new wonderful life beating within us. Our consciousness of death would be an entirely negative matter--the old pains would be unable to touch us, the old bonds would be unable to fetter us. Our actual consciousness would have passed into the new existence: we should be independent of the old. And a like independence is the characteristic of the new flood of resurrection life that comes to our souls as we learn this fresh lesson of dying--a grand independence of any earthly thing to satisfy our soul, the liberty of those who have nothing to lose, because they have nothing to keep. UIN YOUR SOUL IT IS LOSS TO KEEP WHEN GOD SAYS GIVE FOR HERE AGAIN DEATH IS THE GATE OF LIFE IT IS AN ENTERING IN NOT A GOING FORTH ONLY IT MEANS A LIBERATING OF NEW POWERS AS THE FORMER TREASURES FLOAT AWAY LIKE THE DYING PETALS WE CANNOT FEEL A CONSCIOUSNESS OF DEATH THE WORDS ARE A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS IF WE HAD LITERALLY PASSED OUT OF THIS WORLD INTO THE NEXT WE SHOULD NOT FEEL DEAD WE SHOULD ONLY BE CONSCIOUS OF A NEW WONDERFUL LIFE BEATING WITHIN US OUR CONSCIOUSNESS OF DEATH WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY NEGATIVE MATTER THE OLD PAINS WOULD BE UNABLE TO TOUCH US THE OLD BONDS WOULD BE UNABLE TO FETTER US OUR ACTUAL CONSCIOUSNESS WOULD HAVE PASSED INTO THE NEW EXISTENCE WE SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT OF THE OLD AND ALIKE INDEPENDENCE IS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW FLOOD OF RESURRECTION LIFE THAT COMES TO OUR SOULS AS WE LEARN THIS FRESH LESSON OF DYING A GRAND INDEPENDENCE OF ANY EARTHLY THING TO SATISFY OUR SOUL THE LIBERTY OF THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO KEEP
