Fellowship with His Sufferings

We were created fearfully and wonderfully to glorify our Heavenly Father. When I consider the depths of my soul it is unfathomable to have self-awareness and a thirst for the divine. It is the fleeting satisfaction that searches for God, that creates a desire to satisfy the hunger, yet such is unfilled outside of fellowship with the Divine. As C.S. Lewis declared "God whispers to us in our bliss but screams at us in our pain." Yet, we must always try God until he brings us to our knees seeking for reasons in trying circumstances.

Is that you now? Is God screaming at you? Press into Christ. Spend hours in Scripture, search these, for they testify of Him. Only when we drink in the Divine through His precious Word, we are closer to Him. As Paul says, "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death" Phil 3:10. Only when we are enjoined with him in his sufferings are we made more comformable to him; dying to ourselves. With affection. Sherrell
