God allows defects to remain in the dearest of His saints so that He can preserve that saint from corruption (pride) and hides him in the secret place of His presence. Psa.31;20. Quietly sitting at His feet and just loving Him, there is no better way to quench the natural strength of your old nature than by silencing it. Purifying the soul can only come by fire, as with gold, the fire that utterly consumes us, is His highest wisdom. The joy of surrender, surrendering brings you to a place you could not otherwise enter. Hosea 2;14 I will lead her into solitude and there I will speak to her heart.
The secret place of the Most High
In the midst of the fire by despair I was bound
But I heard an angel’s voice
“Come, We’re going to higher ground!”
“Just hold my hand and don’t let go
For where I take you few men know”
I reached forth my hand leaving all hurt behind
For the love and peace He promised I would find.
Up to the mountain where angels sing
There I was in the presence of the King
Communing in the stillness of His love
Soaring where devils dare to go
Joy that could only come from above
Thank you Jesus for now I know.
