Poison for the Heart

 

 

God   5 / 11
A girl in love

Which do you think she appreciates more - that her beloved remembers her on the week-end when he has nothing else to do, or that he still thinks of her when he is busiest of all. In the same way, God is most pleased when you think of him when it is difficult to do so.

 

Taking a rest

It is impossible for the lover of God to take a rest from God. Even when life becomes unbearable because of God's demands, and when one asks God for permission to take a rest, the rest period is no less strenuous, for the rest is again the God-relationship.

We may get involved with God on the understanding that God will love us. But soon we find out that it is God who wants to be loved, and according to God's understanding of what love is. It is not easy to be a Christian, even for the best of us: it is permittable to say "I dare not".
