August Introduction
Most writing has a slant to it. The angle of the entire Hungry Heart Series is upward. The purpose is to help the growing believer realize more clearly that his new life began in heaven, is now in heaven, and ever more shall be in heaven.
Mr. John Darby shared this same Pauline perspective.
"To abide in heaven in the Lord Jesus is my place. My faith is exercised here, and the suffering here may be prolonged and continued; but I abide there, and while abiding I engage myself with everything connected with my Father, and with reference to the place He has set me in."
"In that blessed region where He has placed me, and where He alone can keep me, and where I am simply dependent upon Him, it is His interests alone which engage me, and thus it is that I minister to the saints."
"That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ? (2 Thess. 1:12)"
