Into Christ and out of the world.

Tozer said the following in the artice…

The truly spiritual man is indeed something of an oddity. He lives not for himself but to promote the interests of another. He seeks to persuade people to give all to his Lord and asks no portion or share for himself.

 

He delights not to be honored but to see his Savior glorified in the eyes of men.

 

His joy is to see his Lord promoted and himself neglected. He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk.

 

For this he earns the reputation of being dull and overserious, so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens. He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces, and finding few or none, he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart.

 

 

It is this very loneliness that throws him back upon God. "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."

 

His inability to find human companionship drives him to seek in God what he can find nowhere else. He learns in inner solitude what he could not have learned in the crowd - that Christ is All in All.

 Rich beyoud beleif , here ?nothing can compare this bliss within words.
