LIVING
BY FAITH(2)
Our experience of acquiring the truth is similar to the experience of the vase. When the
flowers and letters are first painted, we think everything is fine. But we cannot stand
any touching and are destroyed by any washing. The truth is
not ours; we only understand it in our mind and are excited In our feeling. We rejoice
over it a little too soon. We have to remember that every time we go through a test, it is
to help us to possess the truth that we have just heard. Suppose we have just heard the
truth concerning patience. A test will come to make us impatient. The test we will face
will put
us in exactly the opposite place of the truth we received in our feeling. God wants to put
us through the burning of the furnace. Many people go into the furnace and never come out
again. But if we go through the fire and come out again, what we have acquired will be
firm. Then we will be on the mountaintop once again. The truth which we received before is
unusable; but the truth we now have is usable. The sword which we acquired before could
not be used to
fight; the sword we now have, can. What we had before was only a nice outward appearance;
what we now have within is something solid. Previously, we were in the realm of the mind
and the emotion; now we have really acquired
something.
