226 You Should Learn to Consider Things According to God’s Words
If you wish to be perfected by God, you must learn to experience all things, find the opportunity to be perfected by God, and be enlightened in all that you face. No matter whether it is good or bad, you should benefit from it and it should not cause you to become passive. You should be able to consider it by standing on the side of God, and not analyze or study it from the perspective of man. If this is the manner of your experience, then your heart will be taken over by the burdens for your life; you will live constantly in the light of God’s countenance and will not easily deviate in your practice. Such kind of man has great prospects.
