Summary

This quote suggests that having an abundance of dreams or desires ultimately comes with a cost. The balance of nature dictates that as our dreams and aspirations increase, so does the potential for negative experiences or nightmares. It implies that there is a natural duality present in life, where the pursuit of our dreams can also expose us to the potential for adversity and challenges. It serves as a cautionary reminder that achieving our dreams may not be a smooth journey, and we must be prepared for the inherent risks that come with pursuing our desires.

Let us face at the outset how many Christians are not victor

Let us face at the outset how many Christians are not victorious, but defeated. Defeated by circumstances, defeated by other peoplesÂ’ natures and wrong-doings, defeated by the down-drag of the flesh, defeated by loss, by pain, by suffering, by worry. Instead of saying with confidence, Â“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faithÂ”, they have to say in honesty, Â“This is the defeat that has been caused by the world, even our self-centeredness.Â” That is the opposite of faith. Unbelief is not the opposite of faith; self-centeredness is Â– being centered in self rather than in God.
