whole world the name of Hudson Taylor is well known, <strong>and</strong> in writings,<br />

when it does appear, his brother is referred to as "Hudson Taylor's<br />

brother" – Mr. Anonymous – who gave up all to <strong>be</strong>come famous! The<br />

compelling passion of my life is to <strong>be</strong> filled with all the fullness of God<br />

<strong>and</strong> come into the image of Jesus Christ. The deep cry of my heart is for<br />

the satisfaction of knowing that my life counts for God. As God knows<br />

my heart, it is not a selfish desire. The reason I want to <strong>be</strong> like Jesus is<br />

<strong>be</strong>cause I love Him so, but also <strong>be</strong>cause it is the only way I can ever <strong>be</strong><br />

used in the restoration of fallen creation. I see the needs of the world<br />

around me, <strong>and</strong> realize that I am practically powerless to do anything<br />

about it. Oh Yes, I can pray, <strong>and</strong> give a little, <strong>and</strong> <strong>be</strong>lieve God, <strong>and</strong> see<br />

occasional conversions, deliverances, <strong>and</strong> blessings. But anyone who<br />

says that they have reached the place where their ministry is meeting the<br />

needs of the world is either blind to the needs of humanity, a proud<br />

hypocrite, or a compulsive liar. "Lord Jesus! Breathe Thy Spirit into all<br />

who read these lines until we are like Thee in all of Thy ways that Thou<br />

mayest <strong>be</strong> glorified <strong>and</strong> all creation blessed. Make us a center of<br />

omnipotent God. May the great river of Thy love <strong>and</strong> grace <strong>and</strong> power<br />

flow <strong>and</strong> flow <strong>and</strong> flow until the outflow of Thyself from our center<br />

knows no circumference, enveloping all creation in Thy life <strong>and</strong> light<br />

<strong>and</strong> love. Amen!"<br />

Upon whom shall the Lord arise in the <strong>SEVEN</strong>FOLD<br />

BRIGHTNESS <strong>OF</strong> HIS INTENSIFIED GLORY AND POWER? We<br />

trust that it shall <strong>be</strong> upon <strong>you</strong> <strong>and</strong> me. Today our hearts are expectantly<br />

crying, “Oh Lord, let that sevenfold brightness <strong>be</strong> revealed, that the<br />

glory of God shall so fill our lives that the radiance of Thy presence<br />

shall fill the whole earth!” Amen!<br />

To <strong>be</strong> continued…<br />
