This Pearl of the Day from years ago is so good! But as GCC used to say sometimes after my sermon, “I’m going to put a cap on it.”
You CAN decide you will believe the truth and hang around for a while, maybe years, but you will not last. You can’t last any more than the disciples could last with Jesus through the garden. The truth is too much for those who are in the flesh to stay with. They will be pruned out, regardless of how determined you are to stay. God makes all the decisions that have to do with His kingdom, including who inherits it.
