Whom Shall We Send? (Poem)
Whom shall We send? The angel flew and touched my lips With a burning coal. It did not singe But purified my soul. Who shall go for Us? Whom shall We send? “I will go.” Was my feeble answer. And yet a stronger resolve I said, “Send me.” No matter the unknown. No matter the … Read more

Those Who See
“at that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants [to new believers, to those seeking God’s will and purpose].” Matt 11:25

Perhaps the answer lies with those who seek God’s will and His purpose. Those seeking after their own selfish ambition misses the focus needed to gain understanding in spiritual matters. Yet, those new in the faith recognize and discern deep spiritual mysteries as their focus is no longer on themselves but on God’s will and His purpose.
