2 Timothy 2
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
By Oswald Chambers - If you cannot express yourself on any subject, struggle until you can. If you do not, someone will be poorer all the days of his life. Struggle to reexpress some truth of God to yourself, and God will use that expression to someone else. Go through the winepress of God where the grapes are chrushed. You must struggle to get expression experimentally, then will come a time when that expression will become the very wine of strengthening to someone else, but if you say lazily, "I am
not going to struggle to express this thing for myself, I will borrow
what I say," the expression will not only be of no use to you, but of no use to anyone. Try to state to yourself what you feel implicitly to be God's truth, and you give God a chance to pass it on to someone else through you.
Always make a practice of provoking your mind to think out what it accepts easily. Our position is not ours until we make it ours by suffering. The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but gives expression
to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance.
