LIVING 
    BY FAITH(2) 
     
    Our experience of acquiring the truth is similar to the experience of the vase. When the 
    flowers and letters are first painted, we think everything is fine. But we cannot stand 
    any touching and are destroyed by any washing. The truth is 
    not ours; we only understand it in our mind and are excited In our feeling. We rejoice 
    over it a little too soon. We have to remember that every time we go through a test, it is 
    to help us to possess the truth that we have just heard. Suppose we have just heard the 
    truth concerning patience. A test will come to make us impatient. The test we will face 
    will put 
    us in exactly the opposite place of the truth we received in our feeling. God wants to put 
    us through the burning of the furnace. Many people go into the furnace and never come out 
    again. But if we go through the fire and come out again, what we have acquired will be 
    firm. Then we will be on the mountaintop once again. The truth which we received before is 
    unusable; but the truth we now have is usable. The sword which we acquired before could 
    not be used to 
    fight; the sword we now have, can. What we had before was only a nice outward appearance; 
    what we now have within is something solid. Previously, we were in the realm of the mind 
    and the emotion; now we have really acquired 
    something.
