Just sharing

I Come to the Garden Alone, by C. A. Miles.

I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear,
Falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.”

“O Lord, let my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing YOU....
Oh, the fullness, pleasure, excitement of knowing God on earth.
I care not if I ever raise my voice again... if only I may love Him, please Him.
Mayhap (maybe) in His mercy He shall give me a host of children
That I may lead through the vast star fields, to explore His delicacies,
Whose finger ends set them to burning.
But if not, if only I may see Him, touch His garments and smile into my lover’s eyes.
Ah, then, not stars nor children shall matter, only Himself....”
“O Christ, let me know Thee, let me catch glimpses of Thyself, seated and expectant in glory, let me rest there despite all wrong surging round me....” (Jim Elliot from Shadow of the Almighty )

Oh, when I see HIM face to face, and behold
those love wounds in His glorious body, what
shall I feel? That will be heaven for me--
not one of harps and crowns, or anything else--
but the wonder of JESUS and the open vision
of His unveiled glories, the ineffable majesty
of Deity and the perfect beauties of humanity
shining forth in the radiance of the glorious
Son. Then we too, shall reflect His glory,
and share in His matchless worth, and ascribe
to HIM the highest praises.

His Beauty Draws Us

“What has stripped the seeming beauty from these idols of the earth? Not the sense of right or duty, but the sight of Nobler Birth. Not the crushing of those idols, with its bitter pain and smart, but the beaming of His Beauty, the unveiling of His Heart. ‘Tis the look that melted Peter, ‘tis the face that Stephen saw, ‘tis the heart that wept with Mary, can alone from idols draw. Draw, and win, and fill completely till the cup o’erflow the brim; What have we to do with idols, who have companied with Him?” (author unknown)
