“Earthly joy can take but a bat-like flight, always checked, always limited, in dusk and darkness.

Let us ask that the Lord Jesus would so perfectly tune our spirits to the keynote of His exceeding great love, that all our unconscious influence may breathe only of that love, and help all with whom we come in contact to obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” MayHelpingMightSpiritAsksJesusChristLordInfluenceJesus ChristBreatheContactSatanUnconsciousTunesOur LordGreat LoveLord Jesus ChristHelpersOur Lord Jesus Christ Book:Royal commandments; or, Morning thoughts for the King's servants Source: Royal commandments; or, Morning thoughts for the King's servants
“They would make the 'Church ' their great meeting-point, rather than the Atonement of Christ. As far as my experience goes, they have more devoutness and less devotion, more fear and less love, more feeling of duty than of desire, laying more stress on Phil. ii. 12 than ver. 13, and in practice working upon the intellect and imagination rather than aiming at the heart, skirmishing among the outworks rather than assaulting the citadel.” HeartFeelingsDesireChristImaginationChurchPracticeDutyStressMeetingsIntellectDevotionAtonementCitadels Author:Frances Ridley Havergal
