Daniel 12:3; Matthew 5:16; Philippians 2:15

Many carnal-minded believers are like shooting stars. A shooting star only appears to be a star, but it is just a meteor. Its brightness appears for a brief time, reaches a zenith, and begins to curve downward, descending until it is seen no more. Why? Because of the fleeting, flawed nature of human goodness. It endures but for a time. It is as insubstantial as cotton candy. Soon it runs out of steam, for it is dependent on the whimsical nature of the flesh. It fades like a fair flower, then dries up and dies, for the comeliness of the flesh nature is destined to pass away.

Many begin to take Me for granted. It is dangerous to think that My loving nature is something you can achieve by human effort. It isn’t. As soon as you begin to tire of people you don’t consider “ fun to be around”, you begin to grow chilly toward them in hopes of brushing them off. It really does take daily refreshing in My Presence to renew your capacity to love people of all personality types. Enmity is a by-product of the Fall of Adam. First Adam was estranged from Me, because he was no longer without sin and could not abide My Holy Presence. Then, his relationship with Eve was ruined because she had wheedled him into partaking of the forbidden fruit, so as to oblige him to share her exile from the Garden. Hostilities broke out among some of Adam’s children. Throughout the ages, tensions have existed between diverse ethnic groups and even between church denominations, because fallen human nature is utterly vile and incapable of My Love. My nature must be imparted to you through My grace. It is a gift, not a byproduct of human will-power!

Abide in Me. Allow Me to daily mortify that contemptible Adamic nature which is contrary to My Love; that rebellious bent which is so loathsome in My sight. Let My Light shine forever through you. I have even ignited your candle with Holy Fire from My own. Allow it to burn; don’t snuff it out. My saints are to shine as lights in this world, that they may show lost humanity that I alone am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
