If we let Him—for we can prevent Him, if we choose—He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love, a bright stainless mirror reflecting God perfectly.
To shrink back from the plan of being made perfect as Christ, is not humility: it is laziness and cowardice. To submit to it is not conceit or megalomania; it is obedience.
God shows much more of Himself to some people than to others—not because He has favourites, but because of the conditions of the mind and character of each individual. Just as sunlight cannot be reflected in as dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.
The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man’s self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred—like the Moon seen through a dirty telescope.
Dios, te pido que enfoques mi atención en Tú voz. Quita toda distracción de mi mente y corazón para poder escucharte con claridad y sin lugar a dudas. Dame discernimiento para reconocer la verdad que pronuncia tu boca y silenciar toda mentira. Dame fe, para creer tus palabras.
