We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

To gain entire likeness to Christ, I ought to get a high esteem of the happiness of it. I am persuaded that God’s happiness is inseparably linked in with His holiness. Holiness and happiness are like light and heat. God never tasted one of the pleasures of sin. Christ has a body such as I have, yet He never tasted one of the pleasures of sin. The redeemed, through all eternity, will never taste one of the pleasures of sin; yet their happiness is complete... Every sin is something away from my greatest enjoyment... The devil strives night and day to make me forget this or disbelieve it. He says, Why should you not enjoy this pleasure as much as Solomon or David? You may go to heaven also. I am persuaded this is a lie — that my true happiness is to go and sin no more.
Robert Murray McCheyne

The weight of so many responsibilities and distractions - even the worthwhile ones - has a crushing effect on a person's relationship with Christ. It ruins our taste for spiritual things. It suppresses our exuberance for spiritual service. It suffocates our passion for pursuing Christ and the intimate relationship He offers. It all grinds away at our soul. Eventually, following Jesus starts to lose its luster. The blessings and joys of walking with Him are crowded out by myriad tiny details of life.

13:1 ¶ Ko te tama whakaaro nui ka rongo ki ta tona papa ako: ko te tangata whakahi ia e kore e rongo ki te riri.

13:2 ¶ E kai te tangata i te pai i te hua o tona mangai: ka kai ia te wairua o te hunga wanoke i te tutu.

13:3 ¶ Ko te tangata e tiaki ana i tona mangai e pupuri ana i tona ora: ko te tangata ia e hamama nui ana ona ngutu, ko te whakangaromanga mona.

13:4 ¶ E hiahia ana te wairua o te tangata mangere, a kahore he mea mana: ka meinga ia kia momona te wairua o te hunga uaua.

13:5 ¶ E kino ana te tangata tika ki te korero teka: he mea whakarihariha ia te tangata kino, a whakama noa iho.

13:6 ¶ Ko te tika hei kaitiaki mo te tangata e tapatahi ana te ara: ka whakataka ano te tangata kino e te hara.

13:7 ¶ Tera tetahi kei te amene taonga mona, heoi kahore rawa he mea i a ia: tera tetahi kei te whakarawakore i a ia, heoi nui atu ona rawa.

13:8 ¶ Ko nga utu mo te tangata kia ora, ko ona rawa: tena ko te rawakore, e kore e rongo i te riri.

13:9 ¶ E koa ana te marama o te hunga tika: ka keto ia te rama o te hunga kino.

13:10 ¶ He totohe anake i ahu mai i te whakapehapeha: he whakaaro nui ia kei te hunga i nga kupu tika.

13:11 ¶ Ko nga taonga i puta mai i te whakamanamana ka iti haere: ko ta te tangata i whakaemi ai, he mea mahi, ka tupu haere.

13:12 ¶ He manako taringa roa, he patu ngakau: ka tae te koronga, ko te rakau ia o te ora.

13:13 ¶ Ko te tangata e whakahawea ana ki te kupu, ka ngaro i a ia ano; ko te tangata ia e wehi ana i te whakahau, ka whiwhi ki te utu.

13:14 ¶ Ko te ture o te hunga whakaaro nui, he puna no te ora, e puta ai i nga reti o te mate.

13:15 ¶ Ko to te ngarahu pai he homai atawhai; he taikaha ia te ara o te hunga nanakia.

13:16 ¶ He mahi mohio ta te tangata tupato; ko ta te wairangi he hora i te kuwaretanga.

13:17 ¶ Ka hinga te karere kino ki te kino; ko te karere pono ia, ano he rongoa.

13:18 ¶ Ko te tangata kahore e pai ki te papaki, mana te rawakore, te whakama; engari ko te tangata e whai mahara ana ki te ako, ka whakahonoretia.

13:19 ¶ Ko te hiahia kua rite, he reka ki te wairua: he whakarihariha ia ki nga kuware te whakarere i te kino.

13:20 ¶ Haere i te taha o te hunga whakaaro nui, a ka whai whakaaro koe: ko te takahoa ia o nga kuware, ka mamae.

13:21 ¶ Ka whai te kino i te hunga hara; ko te utu ia ki te hunga tika, he pai.

13:22 ¶ He whakarerenga iho ta te tangata pai mo nga tamariki a nga tamariki; kei te rongoa mo te tangata tika nga taonga o te tangata hara.

13:23 ¶ He nui te kai kei te ngakinga a nga rawakore; tera ia te mea e ngaro ana i te kore o te tikanga pai.

13:24 ¶ Ko te tangata e kaiponu ana i tana whiu, e kino ana ia ki tana tama; ko te tangata ia e aroha ana ki a ia, ka papaki wawe i a ia.

13:25 ¶ Kai ana te tangata tika, makona ana tona wairua; ka hapa ia te kopu o te tangata kino.
