The Solemn Reality of Eternal Things

Happy Sabbath ARISE family!!

It's so strange to be away from you - I keep thinking I'm going back to school on Monday! - yet at the same time it's exciting to think what will happen next for us and how God will use us.

Here's a little something to think about:

"Perhaps if there were more of that intense distress for souls that leads to tears, we should more frequently see the results we desire. Sometimes it may be that while we are complaining of the hardness of the hearts of those we are seeking to benefit, the hardness of our own hearts and our feeble apprehension of the solemn reality of eternal things may be the true cause of our want of success." Hudson Taylor

This really convicted me when I read it. It is my prayer for myself and each of you that we will more fully comprehend the importance and reality of those "eternal things".
