God is not preparing you for anything; obedience is its own end in the purpose of God; be faithful to Him. ↗

It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him. ↗

Jesus did not stand as a prophet and utter judgements; wherever He went the unerring directness of His presence located men. ↗
