And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “Those who are conscious of their blindness and grieved on account of it may be relieved; while those who are content with the light they have lose even that.” (Dods) “Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ When I really enjoy God, I feel my desires of him the more insatiable, and my thirstings after holiness the more unquenchable; and the Lord will not allow me to feel as though I were fully supplied and satisfied, but keeps me still reaching forward. - David Brainerd
