Approved Unto God
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -
2 Timothy 2:15
If you cannot express yourself on any subject, struggle until you can. If
you do not, someone will be the poorer all the days of his life. Struggle to
re-express some truth of God to yourself, and God will use that expression
to someone else. Go through the winepress of God where the grapes are
crushed.
You must struggle to get expression experimentally, then there will come a
time when that expression will become the very wine of strengthening to
someone
else; but if you say lazily - "I am not going to struggle to express this
thing for myself, I will borrow what I say," the expression will not only be
of no use to you, but of no use to anyone. Try to state to yourself what you
feel implicitly to be God's truth, and you give God a chance to pass it on
to someone else through you.
Always make a practice of provoking your own mind to think out what it
accepts easily. Our position is not ours until we make it ours by suffering.
The
author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did
not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been
dumbly struggling in you for utterance.
