by Dale Cresap Have you ever believed something because you wanted it to be true? Yet these things are not always true. Have you heard others claim that I have spoken to them, but what they claimed to hear sounded self-serving? This can affect you as well. If you come to me with a predetermined answer you are not coming for my answer but want me to validate yours. You face the risk of convincing yourself that I have spoken when I have not. Yet I do speak to you and you have my promise that you will know my voice. This happens in the context of submission and obedience, of a broken spirit and a contrite heart. |
