THE FATHER'S HEART OF LOVE

If we think the cost of obedience is too much or too
hard,we must turn our eyes on Jesus and He will
give us grace to obey. Just a glimpse of His glory
will be far greater worth than the cost.
When we can see beyond the cross to identify with
the Father's heart of love, then we will be
submissive out of love (the Father's love)so the
reproach of man cannot touch us nor the glory of
man. Began to see submission out of love.

Our cross is that old "I" (pride which is looking
for the glory of man "my kingdom" instead of
the Father's kingdom. Jesus saw the cross from
the Father's heart of love. He was so one with the
Father that He could identify the suffering only
as in unity with the Father who so loved the world
that He gave His Son. Because of this unity with
the Father's purpose, He was submissive to the
cross. We will only be submissive to die to "our
kingdom..the I kingdom", our cross as we come
into unity with Jesus and the Father.
