Revelation 3: 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
[Testimonies Vol 5 pp 168] Love is unsuspecting, ever placing the most favorable construction upon the motives and acts of others. Love will never needlessly expose the faults of others. It does not listen eagerly to unfavorable reports, but rather seeks to bring to mind some good qualities of the one defamed…. Let us just say here that none of us should wait until crunch time to find out who the real you and me is.
Now is the time for us to allow Jesus to reveal any defects in our characters, so they can be corrected before 666 raises its head, which might be sooner rather than later, no one knows. In surrendering all to Christ we are not to focus too heavily on the right things we should do. Those are important, but we are to look to Jesus always, and if He gives us His assessment of our true condition, we should not like Peter, become deeply offended, and say, that’s not me He is speaking of.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness does not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
