Lean Toward Love

Excerpt from The Seeking Heart

I know that God will keep you. Although you do not enjoy spir­i­tu­al dis­ci­pline, be faith­ful to seek­ing God as much as your health will per­mit. I real­ize that eat­ing, both phys­i­cal­ly and spir­i­tu­al­ly, does not appeal to you now. Still, you must eat to survive.

It would be good for you if you could have a few min­utes of fel­low­ship with those mem­bers of your fam­i­ly that you can con­fide in. As to whom you should talk with — be guid­ed by your inner sense of what is right at each moment. God does not lead you with extreme emo­tion, and for this I am glad. Remain faith­ful to the still, small voice.

Strong emo­tions and deep feel­ings, or seek­ing after signs can be more dan­ger­ous than help­ful. Your imag­i­na­tion is sure to run away with you. God will lead you, almost with­out your know­ing it, if you will be faith­ful to come before Him qui­et­ly. Eat of Him and His word. Love Him and I will tell you to do no more. For if you love Him, every­thing else will work out. I am not ask­ing you for a ten­der and emo­tion­al love, but sim­ply that you lean toward love. Put God before your­self and the world and even your evil desires will begin to be transformed.
