Transformation2

I have understood from the Lord that we must all attend the "School of the Spirit" all the days of our lives.  If our attendance is poor, if we do not walk daily in the Spirit and listen to instruction, we will not progress but will fall again into the ignorance and darkness of not knowing---

of not knowing Him or His will for us,
of not knowing the Word of life and joy and peace,
of not understanding ourselves or others,

of descending into a world of chaos, where nothing makes sense and we cannot find God in the midst of it.

But if we are faithful in our attendance, we shall begin to see as He sees.  We will know truth because He Himself deigns to teach us what we do not know.  Like all good teachers, He is always present and always ready to teach.

It is the poor student who decides to sleep in and not to learn what he needs to know on a daily basis.  That is the man who goes hungry when there is plenty to be had for the taking.  For the Lord is rich and He withholds His bounty from no one who asks.  But He will not force us to take---He will only offer eternally.
