Holiness and growth are dangerous things to ask for. Yet i cannot think of anything i want more. Though the last time i did so heralded years of lost friendships and ministry opportunities, and yet because there was perseverance in the gospel, there was indeed growth and a deeper understanding of God and his word.
I didn’t quite steel myself when i made a similar request recently and soon enough, many props were pulled away, revealing so much remnant sinfulness that i cringe to think about it. Even though i was aware of the falsity of the props, i would stupidly have clung on to them, if not for divine intervention.
He who calls us is faithful. He will do it.
