Let me tell you that in bygone days God seemed to give you a gift, a power by which to be patient, so that you almost thought your problem of being patient was solved. You then turned to deal with humility, and again God appeared to give you a gift, a power by which to be humble, so that you began to feel your problem of humility was settled. Next you realized yet another problem in your life, for which you asked of God a solution. Each day you tried to solve one or two problems -- yet what you were doing was solving fractional problems.
Brethren, God will take away all things in order to give you one Person who is to be simultaneously your humility, your patience, your gentleness, and your love. For Christ is all. And this is what Christianity actually is. God builds incessantly until finally even this universe must confess that Christ is indeed all. Today God desires to work out in us this confession that Christ is all.
--Watchman Nee
