Pilgrim's Progress

This post on facebook this morning really struck me. When I was younger I didn't really get it, but now I understand. I used to live under that way of thinking! #thelordwillgivewhatisgood He brought me out and showed me that!

The Pilgrim's Progress

3 hrs · 

Faithful: “Running from Adam, I ran up the Hill Difficulty. I looked behind me and saw one coming after me as swift as the wind. He overtook me half way up where an arbor stood.”

Christian: “That is where I fell asleep and left my scroll behind!”

Faithful: “Hear me out. Soon the man overtook me and hit me with a word and blow, knocking me out. When I came to, I asked him, ‘Why do you do this to me?’ He said, ‘Because you secretly wished to go with Adam.’ And then he struck me with another blow upon my heart and beat me backward. I was knocked out again.

Faithful: “ When I came to, I cried for mercy, but he said ‘I know not how to show mercy.’ And with that, he knocked me down again.”
