talking to my best friend last night, we came upon an analogy that got us both thinking and laughing. we were discussing the things in our lives that are keeping us from seeing God clearly when the idea of "eye poo" (or, "sleep" in english - basically, the crusty stuff that keeps your eyes from opening fully in the morning) came about. and we realized that we need God's help to rub our eyes clean so we can open them fully and see His face.
we also went on a tangent about the vulgarity of the cantonese language where bodily secretions are all termed "poo" of some sort (snot = nose poo, earwax = ear poo)... hahaha... oh, we're still such children. anywho, we are mystified as to what the other dialects of chinese call these things - my mom doesn't even know. maybe cantonese is the only dialect that even refers to such things?...
anyway, i've been reading Gems From Tozer and practically every page has something underlined. now i want to read more of his writing! i'll share one thing today (more to come later?):
Now there are five vows I have in mind which we do well to make and keep.
1. Deal thoroughly with sin.
2. Never own anything - get rid of the sense of possessing.
3. Never defend yourself.
4. Never pass anything on about anybody else that will hurt them.
5.Never accept any glory.
They said, "Master, we want our eyes opened. We want to see!"
~Matthew 20:33~
