I believed God for a solution to a problem in our missionary work forty years ago. I must have been mistaken. But just now the answer is appearing. Of course the temptation is to question. Never accept those questionings which come from our souls.
Condemnation accompanied by darkness comes from beneath.
Conviction accompanied by light and peace comes from above. Such times, when apparently faith does not become substance, are given us to establish us more thoroughly in the fact that we have the mind of Christ and must not recognize the false possibility that we are back in our old, divided, self-motivated outlook. Don t be frightened by such a barb. Don t accept that in our union relationship with Christ our motives are flesh-centered. Because if Paul had gotten the removal of his thorn in the flesh, we should all have forgotten about that as an incident of history.
