What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose! … YOU drove them from me, YOU Who are the True, the Sovereign Joy drove them from me and took their place! … O Lord, my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation!

Jesus gave both His hands to the nails; how can I keep back one of mine from this blessed work? Night and day He toiled and prayed for me; how can I give a single hour to selfish indulgence? Up, idle heart; stretch out thy hand to work, or uplift it to pray: heaven and hell are in earnest; LET ME BE SO…

One of the most amazing things Jesus said is that at the judgment seat, preachers are going to say, “I cast out devils,” and Jesus will say, “I never knew you.”
