Companions of the Way (Morning)They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh.
I NEED to be emancipated from desire for the flesh-pots of Egypt, the lusts of the unreal life, an unreal happiness, a false and base ideal. When I complain of the defects of my natural world, I do it, for the most part, because I am desiring more of the lower things, rather than the high things of God, through which they and I may be restored. The Promised Land seems very far away and Egypt very near, but I suppose the worst that could happen to me would be to find in Egypt my right and happy home.
