I Give My Heart, February 1
My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Proverbs 23:26
.
The Lord says to every one of you, “My son, give Me thine heart.” He sees
your disorders. He knows that your soul is diseased with sin, and He desires to
say to you, “Thy sins are forgiven.” The Great Physician has a remedy for every
ill. He understands your case. Whatever may have been your errors, He knows
how to deal with them. Will you not trust yourself to Him?
The blessing of God will rest upon every soul that makes a full consecration
to Him. When we seek for God with all the heart, we shall find Him. God is
in earnest with us, and He wants us to make thorough work for eternity. He has
poured out all heaven in one gift, and there is no reason why we should doubt His
love. Look to Calvary....
God asks you to give Him your heart. Your powers, your talents, your affec-
tions, should all be surrendered to Him, that He may work in you to will and to do
of His good pleasure, and fit you for eternal life.
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
It is the submissive, teachable spirit that God wants. That which gives to prayer
its excellence is the fact that it is breathed from a loving, obedient heart.
