To Think About…

The Secret of the Lord

Every battle of life concerning ourselves, our circumstances, or our neighbors, is first fought and won within. The battleground is ourselves, and the victory is Christ’s Cross in its inner operation. If we turn our attention away from our reactions, resentments, proposed activities, with reference to a situation, and die to them, then God’s voice can be heard, His way seen and His outlook accepted; and then we can receive, believe and act on it. Resurrection life has begun within ourselves, and will forthwith express itself through look and word and deed. What is won within is won without, what is lost within is lost without, and the secret is the Cross.
