"When Christ dwells in the heart, the soul will be so filled with His love,
with the joy of communion with Him, that it will cleave to Him; and in the contemplation of Him, self will be forgotten.
Love to Christ will be the spring of action.
Those who feel the constraining love of God, do not ask how little may be given to meet the requirements of God; they do not ask for the lowest standard, but aim at perfect conformity to the will of their Redeemer.
With earnest desire they yield all and manifest an interest proportionate to the value of the object which they seek.
A profession of Christ without this deep love is mere talk, dry formality, and heavy drudgery."
"Take me, O Lord, as wholly Thine. I lay all my plans at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide
with me, and let all my work be wrought in Thee."
Ellen White "Steps to Christ"

ReplyDeleteThis is so true. That's why "he who has been forgiven much, loves much". What we are aware of- His great vast heart of love- propels us to be extravagant in our love and our response to Him.
Thank-you! That was beautiful and SO true. I love the way you share God's love!!God Bless!!
