However, His’ is a heavenly kingdom, and His own son (we are adopted) died on a cross… God wants to give us all but first we need to learn obedience, obedience till death. Only then can He fully satisfy our desires. However, if we ask anything in HIS name, and are under His will, He will supply us here too! Yet, do we really know what it is to be in God’s will? For that to happen we need to KNOW His will, understand His Word, follow the map, and directions that will lead us to our freedom. Unfortunately, many times we see through a heavy fog… we cannot read the signs… If we do not take care enough, we WILL get lost… But we only will keep going if we ‘really desire to serve Him’. Sometimes I think the character of Puddleglum gives me the best lesson. In the Silver Chair (Narnia Chronicles) he burns his hand forcefully in the enchanted fire of the White Witch stating ‘even if Narnia does not exists I would rather die believing that to stay here’, this being the final step that leads to their escape from the underworld… We need first to escape from the ‘underworld’. Then, and only then will we be totally free… <BR/>A & PAdriana Schalkwijk Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275026189125647368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175799807294149453.post-86938732493713014942009-01-14T19:22:00.000-08:002009-01-14T19:22:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Adriana Schalkwijk Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275026189125647368noreply@blogger.com
