JOHN 14:31 "ARISE, LET US GO HENCE."

'LEAVE HIM TO BE THE SOURCE OF ALL YOUR DREAMS AND JOYS AND DELIGHTS, AND GO OUT AND OBEY WHAT HE HAS SAID." DREAMING ABOUT A THING IN ORDER TO DO IT PROPERLY IS RIGHT; BUT DREAMING ABOUT IT  WHEN WE SHOULD BE DOING IT IT IS WRONG. AFTER OUR LORD HAD SAID THESE WONDERFUL THINGS, HE ADDED IF HUMAN LOVE DOES NOT CARRY A MAN BEYOND HIMSELF IT IS NOT LOVE. IF LOVE IS ALWAYS DISCREET, ALWAYS WISE, ALWAYS SENSIBLE AND CALCULATING, WE HAVE TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP AS THOUGH THERE WERE NO GOD. IT IS NO USE TO WAIT FOR GOD TO HELP US, HE WILL NOT. BUT IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE ARISE WE FIND HE IS THERE. WHENEVER GOD INSPIRES, THE INITIATIVE IS A MORAL ONE. WE MUST DO THE THING AND NOT LIE LIKE A LOG. IF WE WILL "ARISE" AND SHINE, DRUDGERY BECOMES DIVINELY TRANSFIGURED. DRUDGERY IS ONE OF THE FINEST TOUCHSTONES OF CHARACTER THERE IS. DRUDGERY IS WORK THAT IS VERY FAR REMOVED FROM ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE IDEAL---- THE UTTERLY MEAN GRUBBY THINGS; WHEN WE COME IN CONTACT WITH THEM WE KNOW INSTANTLY WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE SPIRITUALLY REAL. READ JOHN 13. WE SEE THERE THE INCARNATE GOD DOING THE MOST DESPERATE PIECE OF DRUDGERY, WASHING FISHERMEN'S FEET AND HE SAYS----"IF I THEN, YOUR LORD AND MASTER, HAVE WASHED YOUR FEET, YE ALSO OUGHT TO WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET." IT REQUIRES THE INSPIRATION OF GOD TO GO THROUGH THE DRUDGERY WITH THE LIGHT. SOME PEOPLE DO A CERTAIN THING AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEY DO IT HALLOWS THAT THING FOREVER AFTERWARDS. IT MAY BE THE MOST COMMON PLACE THING, BUT AFTER WE SEE THEM DO IT, IT BECOMES DIFFERENT. WHEN THE LORD DOES A THING THROUGH US, HE ALWAYS TRANSFIGURES IT. OUR LORD TOOK ON HIM OUR HUMAN FLESH AND TRANSFIGURED IT, AND IT HAS BECOME FOR EVERY SAINT THE " TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT." THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT I LOVE THE FATHER; AND AS THE FATHER;  GAVE ME COMMANDMENT, EVEN SO I DO "ARISE, LET US GO HENCE."JOHN 14:31.DREAMING ABOUT A THING IN ORDER TO DO IT PROPERLY IS RIGHT; BUT DREAMING ABOUT IT WHEN WE SHOULD BE DOING IT IS WRONG. AFTER OUR LORD HAD SAID THOSE WONDERFUL THINGS TO HIS DISCIPLES, WE MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED THAT HE WOULD TELL THEM TO GO AWAY AND MEDITATE OVER THEM ALL; BUT OUR LORD NEVER ALLOWED "MOONING." WHEN WE ARE GETTING INTO CONTACT WITH GOD IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHAT HE WANTS, DREAMING IS RIGHT; BUT WHEN WE ARE INCLINED TO SPEND OUR TIME IN DREAMING OVER WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO DO, IT IS A BAD THING AND GOD'S BLESSING IS NEVER ON IT. GOD'S INITIATIVE IS ALWAYS IN THE NATURE OF A STAB AGAINST THIS KIND OF DREAMING, THE STAB THAT BIDS US "NEITHER SIT NOR STAND BUT GO." ARISE!  IF WE ARE QUIETLY WAITING BEFORE GOD AND HE HAS SAID----"COME YE YOURSELVES APART," THEN THAT IS MEDITATION BEFORE GOD
IN ORDER TO GET AT THE LINE HE WANTS;  BUT ALWAYS BEWARE OF GIVING OVER TO MERE DREAMING WHEN ONCE GOD HAS SPOKEN. LEAVES HIM TO BE THE SOURCE OF ALL YOUR DREAMS AND JOYS AND DELIGHTS, AND GO OUT AND OBEY WHAT HE HAS SAID. IF YOU ARE IN LOVE, YOU DO NOT SIT DOWN AND DREAM ABOUT THE ONE YOU LOVE ALL THE TIME,  YOU GO AND DO SOMETHING FOR HIM; AND THAT IS WHAT JESUS CHRIST EXPECTS US TO DO. DREAMING AFTER GOD HAS SPOKEN IS AN INDICATION THAT WE DO NOT TRUST HIM.
