So, I hope you all have read Chapter Seven from The Signature of Christ that I sent you last week. I've had to read it and set it aside and then come back to it several times in order to absorb all of what Manning was trying to say.
Stan and I have discussed and prayed for "humility" for the past few months as success seems to have perched itself on our tree branch. Success can breed pride and an enlarged ego as you know. This Chapter Seven comes along just when we are dealing with our own death of self or ego.
Manning says the ego has to break; and this breaking is like entering into a great darkness. And, he says when one lives there successfully it is living in the bright darkness of faith. What a wonderful choice of words. Like I said, it took several read throughs to get that concept of living in the "bright" darkness.
Can anyone testify to living in this bright darkness of faith? Would you share your story, your experience with us...either by posting here or clicking on "comment" below and writing there.
