Are you a loner?

[joeb]

Quote:

Through the call of Jesus men become individuals. Willy-nilly, they are compelled to decide, and that decision can only be made by themselves. It is no choice of their own that makes them individuals: it is Christ who makes them individuals by calling them. Every man is called separately, and must follow alone. But men are frightened of solitude, and they try to protect themselves from it by merging themselves in the society of their fellow-men and in their material environment. They become suddenly aware of their responsibilities and duties, and are loath to part with them. but all this is only a cloak to protect them from having to make a decision. They are unwilling to stand alone before Jesus and to be compelled to decide with their eyes fixed on him alone. Yet neither father nor mother, neither wife nor child, neither nationality nor tradition, can protect a man at the moment of his call. It is Christ's will that he should be thus isolated and that he should fix his eyes solely upon him." The Cost of Discipleship p.94

So, are you a loner? Do you walk alone in the crowd?

[Gibs]

Yes, some are loners but not any that are in Jesus Christ and He in them.

Yes the whole world can be against you and then you are still in the majority when with Him and He in you and no lonesome feelings whatsoever.

Among men I walk alone at times but believe me I am not a loner!

Well you know He told us before they hated you they hated me. Over what? I suppose don't you, the Truth. That is what He is. Truth, love and life cannot be separated and He is the fullness thereof.

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
