LOVE TO JESUS
The loving heart of an actual living Christ
The essential thing in the Christian life!
Undeserving, ill-deserving, hell-deserving
Your hearts have gone a-whoring from Him!
Love flowing from a sight of the cross!
Rise up my love, my beautiful one, and come away!
We are not flogged into loving Him
Some creature steals away your heart
The more vile we are in our own eyes
Coming daily and hourly to Jesus
A powerful, operative, abiding principle
He felt himself in a great strait!
It is not your work that He wants most — it is you!
They are the treasures which His great heart covets!
Transformed into His likeness!
My Beloved is mine — and I am His!
Her life-lesson was comprised in four words
Keep a fixed eye upon a bleeding Christ
When Brutus went to stab Julius Caesar
How may we know whether we love God?
Ah, the thanklessness of it, the ugliness, the evil!
As we look at this slain Lamb!
If You gave me a mountain of gold
The old monks intently gazed upon the crucifix
Pleasure, delight, contentment & satisfaction in God
Above the decaying objects around him?
Ah, my much abused, much neglected heart!
My friend, how is it with you?
Can we forget such mighty grace?
Stricken and smitten and afflicted
Her friends wondered what the secret could be!
Were it no bigger than a child's doll
Why do our hearts grow so cold?
We were stinking in the grave of sin!
Personal intimacy with the Lord Jesus
The only condition of soul health
The sum total of my experience is:
Come to Christ as Mary Magdalene did!
Have we not leaned upon a thousand things?
The reason why He is not loved
Is Jesus increasingly precious to you?
If you want to see what sin really is
The happy secret of retaining our mercies
A living, loving, personal Savior
How emptying, humbling, and abasing!
A sea of sin — and not a drop of sorrow!
Poverty, wretchedness, and woe!
Hanging upon a rich, almighty Savior!
Their blessings fall upon us as perpetually, in a gentle rain of grace
Is there no silent lesson here for us?
A hard, proud, hollow religion
My poor, depraved, polluted heart!
The monarch of our affections!
Your Savior-God has married you!
Like a little child in the arms of eternal love
May our hearts glow with seraphic love
Are we willing this very night to leave all on earth, and go to Jesus?
High Proficiency in Divine Things?
Have we nothing to give Christ?
