Listen from:
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:3232He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32)
OM 8:32{UK 15:31{He holds nothing back, reserves nothing from His dear children, and what we cannot receive now He is keeping for us. He gives us "hidden riches of secret places" now, but by and by He will give us more, and the glorified intellect will be filled continually out of His treasures of wisdom and knowledge. But the sanctified intellect will be, must be, used for Him, and only for Him, now!
For only work that is for God alone
Hath an unceasing guerdon of delight,
A guerdon unaffected by the sight
Of great success, nor by its loss o'erthrown.
All else is vanity beneath the sun,
There may be Joy in doing, but it palls when done.
For there are few who care to analyze
The mingled motives, in their complex force,
Of some apparently quite simple course;
One disentangled skein might well surprise.
Perhaps a "single heart" is never known,
Save in a yielded life that lives for God alone.
