May God lead us, no matter what the cost, into all that can be known of it, here on earth. MAY GOD LEAD US NO MATTER WHAT THE COST INTO ALL THAT CAN BE KNOWN OF IT HERE ON EARTH
im who liveth and was dead and is alive for evermore. Stress had to be laid in these pages on the death gateway, but a gateway is never a dwelling-place; the death-stage is never meant for our souls to stay and brood over, but to pass through with a will into the light beyond. We may and must, like the plants, bear its marks, but they should be visible to God rather than to man, for above all and through all is the inflowing, overflowing life of Jesus: oh let us not dim it by a shadow of morbidness or of gloom: He is not a God of the dead, but a God of the living, and He would have us let the glory of His gladness shine out. Think of the wonder of it--the Fountain of Life Himself wells up within us, taking the place of all that we have delivered, bit by bit, into His grave. "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." Little have we proved, any of us, the resources that lie in that mighty indwelling, little have we learnt what it is to have all our soul-fibres penetrated by its power.  FOR WE REPRESENT DOWN HERE HIM WHO LIVETH AND WAS DEAD AND IS ALIVE FOR EVERMORE STRESS HAD TO BE LAID IN THESE PAGES ON THE DEATH GATEWAY BUT A GATEWAY IS NEVER A DWELLING PLACE THE DEATH STAGE IS NEVER MEANT FOR OUR SOULS TO STAY AND BROOD OVER BUT TO PASS THROUGH WITH A WILL INTO THE LIGHT BEYOND WE MAY AND MUST LIKE THE PLANTS BEAR ITS MARKS BUT THEY SHOULD BE VISIBLE TO GOD RATHER THAN TO MAN FOR ABOVE ALL AND THROUGH ALL IS THE INFLOWING OVERFLOWING LIFE OF JESUS OH LET US NOT DIM IT BY A SHADOW OF MORBIDNESS OR OF GLOOM HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD BUT A GOD OF THE LIVING AND HE WOULD HAVE US LET THE GLORY OF HIS GLADNESS SHINE OUT THINK OF THE WONDER OF IT THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE HIMSELF WELLS UP WITHIN US TAKING THE PLACE OF ALL THAT WE HAVE DELIVERED BIT BY BIT INTO HIS GRAVE I LIVE YET NOT I BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME LITTLE HAVE WE PROVED ANY OF US THE RESOURCES THAT LIE IN THAT MIGHTY INDWELLING LITTLE HAVE WE LEARNT WHAT IT IS TO HAVE ALL OUR SOUL FIBRES PENETRATED BY ITS POWER
