Coming out of the wilderness ~ Jesse Pen-Lewis

“It is worth going through the wilderness for this; worth the cost of the apparent forsaking of the Well-Beloved, to come forth perfumed with [i]myrrh[/i]; with the fragrance that alone can come from fellowship with Him of Whom it was written, “It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief” (Isaiah 53:10). She is also a [i]melted[/i] soul, no longer hard and unbending, but tender and broken with His love so pliable and yielding to His will that she is compared to frankincense, a liquid distilled gum. The melting power of the love of God can now be manifested through her, so that others are broken at His feet.” ~ Jesse Pen-Lewis
