In pursuit of your paramount desire - to enter and abide in the living God and Jesus Christ - all worthless things will necessarily fall off. All vain adornments, all riches, prestige and earthly honors will seem as dung.

You will stand immovable, having apprehended your Apprehender; having attained the want of your soul.

You will appear to the world as naked; having no outward elevations or accolades. But before the One with whom you have to do, you’ll be clad with favor and crowned with beauty.

The world will deem you foolish, even offensive, but you will be unashamed before your God - whose regard for you as precious, is your only care.
