I long to do all as “constrained by love.” What a wonderful place to abide. Here there is little questioning and doubt. Here there is no room for pride and vanity. All in service. All in love. This is safe ground. This makes the lowest valleys look like mountaintops. Truly the peaks of what self-motivated man can gain can not even attain to the valley of the shadow of death when love constrains us to be there. Lord, let me here abide. Make me not a visitor to your ways and Spirit, but let me make my home here. Do this for your Son’s sake.

Random Quote

Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think … It is wounding work, of course, this breaking of the hearts, but without wounding there is no saving. … Where there is grafting there is a cutting, the scion must be let in with a wound; to stick it on to the outside or to tie it on with a string would be of no use. Heart must be set to heart and back to back, or there will be no sap from root to branch, and this I say, must be done by a wound.
