For a few years those chapters had no certain curiosity to me; yet i haven't ceased to be grateful that i used to be early ended in learn the note of God in usual path: it used to be via this behavior that those chapters first grew to become especially helpful to me. i used to be vacationing on a missionary travel within the province of Cheh-kiang, and needed to go the evening in a truly depraved city. the entire motels have been dreadful areas; and the folks looked as if it would have their consciences seared, and their hearts sealed opposed to the reality.

But are there not many of the LORD'S people to whom He is not yet "a living, bright Reality"? So important are the presence and the work of the HOLY GHOST, that our LORD assured His disciples that it was expedient for them that He should go away, in order that the COMFORTER should come. And we see the mighty change that was wrought in the disciples when the outpouring of the SPIRIT actually took place at Pentecost. The timid became courageous; the scattered and persecuted disciples went everywhere preaching the Word; the HOLY SPIRIT wrought conviction of sin, and revealed the risen SAVIOUR as the object of faith; and many were added to the LORD.
Blessing is the moving of the heart towards an object of affection and complacency. The out-going of the heart is naturally accompanied by gift or ascription, as the case may be. When our hearts bless the LORD, we sing a song of praise to Him for the great love wherewith He hath loved us; but the blessing is not the song--it is the feeling that prompts it. When the LORD blesses His people with peace and plenty, it is His open Heart that moves His loving Hand. Again, blessing is always accompanied with joy; it is a joy, and it gives joy, both to the giver and the receiver.
Where that blessing is not enjoyed, there is always something unreal or defective in the consecration. It may be that we have separated ourselves to carry out our own will, or thought, or plan of service, instead of surrendering ourselves and our will, to learn and to do His will. But it is real consecration to GOD that puts us into the position in which He can pour out His richest blessings upon us. The prodigal was a son of the father all the time; but when he preferred his will to the will of his father, his way to the way of his father, his management of his share in the property to his father's management, it issued but in ruin and misery--in hunger and nakedness and shame.
