“The body truly is a prison in which
the soul is held until its release from this earthly existence. The soul is the glory of a man and shines
forth through the bodily orifices. The
soul is delicate and beautiful. God is
in love with the souls of men. The body
is just the vehicle the soul is riding in.
The soul must be fed, nourished, and
strengthened by a daily diet of communication with God. If it deprives itself of spiritual food, it
shrivels up and dies to life’s joys. A
well-fed soul is a soul of great joy, for God is joy, and the soul filled with
God becomes joyful. The soul is the
heart of your body. It is the place
where God’s love originates. It can
become a burning flame or a campfire that is slowly dying out. The flames have been doused with the waters
of the world’s values. It no longer
reaches for the stars of heaven, but lies alone, wrapped up in itself.
The soul that opens itself completely
to God shares in His wonderful creative power.
New worlds of thought, creative thoughts, joy-filled sentiments well up
in the soul saturated with God. Gone is
the mundane way of life. God is
exciting. He brings renewed fervor and
vision to a soul in the doldrums.
God, the creative architect and artist
of this beautiful world, seeks to share His gifts with men. He desires a collaboration of the hearts to
continually create, design, build and plant new vistas, new horizons, and new
ideas. God is continual growth and
change. His infinite vastness can never
be fully realized by men. How they limit
themselves their puny ideas, when they could be basking in God’s infinite
fruitfulness!
O men of earth, open your imprisoned
souls to the glorious God of the universe.
Let Him open your mind up to His vast storehouse of wisdom and
knowledge. He longs to share His glory
with you. Do not close yourself off to
these eternal riches, beauteous to behold.
They will wrap themselves around you and make of you a burning and shining
lamp of holiness.”
Jesus,
God’s Spokesman
