STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me.
(Psalm 138:8)

There is a divine mystery in suffering, one that
has a strange and supernatural power and has never been completely understood by human reason. No one
has ever developed a deep level of spirituality
or holiness without experiencing a great deal of
suffering. When a person who suffers reaches a
point where he can be calm and carefree, inwardly
smiling at his own suffering, and no longer asking
God to be delivered from it, then the suffering
has accomplished its blessed ministry, perseverance
has "finished its work" (James 1:4), and the pain of the Crucifixion has begun to weave itself
into a crown.
It is in this experience of complete suffering
that the Holy Spirit works many miraculous things
deep within our soul. In this condition, our entire
being lies perfectly still under the hand of God;
every power and ability of the mind, will, and
heart are at last submissive; a quietness of eternity settles into the entire soul; and
finally, the mouth becomes quiet, having only a
few words to say, and stops crying out the words
Christ quoted on the cross; "My God, my God, why
have You forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1).
At this point, the person stops imagining castles
in the sky, and pursuing foolish ideas, and his
reasoning becomes calm and relaxed, with all
choices removed because the only choice has now
become the purpose of God. Also, his emotions
are weaned away from other people and things,
becoming deadened so that nothing can hurt,
offend, hinder, or get in his way. He can now let the circumstances be what they may, and continue
to seek only God and His will, with the calm
assurance that He is causing everything in the universe, whether good or bad, past or present,
to work "for the good of those who love Him"
(Romans 8:28)
Oh, the blessings of absolute submission to Christ!
What a blessing to lose our own strength, wisdom,
plans, and desires and to be where every ounce of
our being becomes like a peaceful Sea of Galilee
under the omnipotent feet of Jesus!
(from Soul Food)
The main thing is to suffer without becoming
discouraged. (Francois Fenelon)

The heart that serves, and loves, and clings,
Hears everywhere the rush of angel wings.
