It is a religion of principle that God wants from us, not one of mere feeling. - Elizabeth Prentiss

Lay hold on Christ with both your poor, empty hands.

No truth can be said to be seen as it is until it is seen in its relation to all other truths. In this relation only is it true.

"Cheerfully and gratefully I lay myself and all I am or own at the feet of Him who redeemed me with His precious blood, engaging to follow Him, bearing the cross He lays upon me." This is the least I can do, and I do it while my heart lies broken and bleeding at His feet.
