Love

March 14, 2013

He who lives without prayer – he who lives with little prayer – he who seldom reads the Word – he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high – he will be the man whose heart will become dry and barren; but he who calls in secret on his God – who spends much time in holy retirement – who delights to meditate on the words of the Most High – whose soul is given up to Christ – such a man must have an overflowing heart; and as his heart is, such will his life be.

If a man had to wade breast deep through a thousand hells to obtain Christ–it would be well worth the venture, if at the last he might but say, “My Beloved is mine–and I am His!”

It is in the closet, in the morning watch, that our spiritual life is both tested and strengthened.  There is the battlefield where it is to be decided every day whether God is to have all, whether our life is to be absolute obedience.  If we truly conquer there, getting rid of ourselves into the hands of our Almighty Lord, the victory during the day is sure.  It is there, in the inner chamber, proof is to be given whether we really delight in God, and make it our aim to love Him with our whole heart.
