Transcendent Life
Watchman Nee


And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. (Mat 5:41)


Our transcendency is before the Lord for no one demands more than the Lord. The most people can demand is only one mile, but what Lord requires is the second mile.


May the Lord’s hand be on me. If I lose all, I will not be able to lose any more. When I am totally dead, I will not be able to die further. As long as I may yet die, I have not died enough. Since I may still lose, I have not lost enough. I am willing to increase the Lord’s hand on me, rather than to lighten it.


If we are able to stand on the Lord’s side and deal with ourselves, we will never entertain the thought of revenge on others.
