Called To A Greater Separation

Come, sit, and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the comfort of the Lord:  "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice."  Ephesians  4:31


"Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck."    Song of Solomon 4:9

     How dull we are when it comes to a realization of the love of Christ.  We are like little children who watch the beautiful colors and dazzling lights in a priceless diamond, but know not its value.  We have no conception of what it cost our Lord to purchase redemption for mankind; we know not His suffering.  We shall never know the anguish that broke His heart as He hung on the cross, deserted by all who had claimed to love Him.

     Oh, that we might love Him more!  It seems that He demands so little from us in comparison with what He has given us. Even a little turning of our love toward Him, and His heart responds to us, and the warmth of His love sweeps over us like flaming billows.  Even a little turning of our faces toward Him with determination to go on into all He has bought for us, and He hastens to meet us.
