Is it well?

Hebrews 6:18-19

18 So God has given both His Promise and His Oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to The Hope that lies before us. 19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through The Curtain into God’s Inner Sanctuary.

 

 

Soul: will, emotion, feeling and mind

 

 Through sympathy or comfort ... the “soul” life won’t be lost.

"The spirit life" finds in God ... all sufficiency for our needs.

In hunger for righteousness ... and so then in God’s Will

Our own desires will be denied ... as on Christ Himself we feed.

 

What does not emerge from dependence on God ... we must reject.

Even if it appears acceptable ... it will just be a compromise.

We have to break with our longings ... except for God Himself

And just follow Him and pursue ... His Will and His Advise.

 

How will our desire move aside ... unless burned through suffering?

Emotionally we need to be ... emptied and poured out.

Not by choice or circumstance ... but freely through God’s giving

Offer without holding back ... our soul, our will and mouth.
