Why Andrew Murray is one of my favorite authors
things like this (from 'Absolute Surrender'):
One day I was talking with a missionary and he said to me, "Brother, remember that when GOD puts a desire into your heart, He will fulfill it."
That helped me; I thought of it a hundred times. I want to say the same to you who are plunging about and struggling in the quagmire of helplessness and doubt. The desire that GOD puts into your heart, HE will fulfill.
If any are saying that GOD has no place for them, let them trust GOD and wait, and HE will help them and show them their place. I have learnt to place myself before GOD every day, as a vessel to be filled with HIS HOLY SPIRIT. HE has filled me with the blessed assurance that HE, as the everlasting GOD, has guaranteed HIS work in me. If there is one lesson that I am learning day by day, it is this: that it is GOD who worketh all in all. Oh, that I could help any brother or sister to realize this!

yes, i'd like to learn that... i mean REALLY learn that :) very encouraging, thanks! :)
whoo hooo! AMEN!
and yes, I need to learn that too, esp the placing oneself before God each day and letting them be filled by HIM and not by general life stuff.
that whole putting it into practice thing is so hard. but i spose like anything else, it won't get easier til i start. as gaffer gamgee says, 'it's the job that ain't started as takes longest to do.'
