Little Salt Wagon

“The way of salvation is to me a wide path, absolutely radiant with the glory of Him who shines upon it. I see my shortcomings; I see my sins; but I feel myself bathed, as it were, in the effulgent glow that proceeds directly from the throne of God and the Lamb.” 

     “There is one more thing that troubles me,” I said. “Most persons know the exact moment when they begin real Christian lives. But I do not know of any such time in my history. This causes me many uneasy moments.”       “You are wrong in thinking that most persons have this advantage over you. I believe that the children of Christian parents, who have been judiciously trained, rarely can point out any day or hour when they begin to live this new life. The question is not, Do you remember, my child, when you entered this world and how? It is simply this: Are you now alive and an inhabitant thereof?”

“I am a wayward, foolish child. But he loves me! I have disobeyed and grieved Him ten thousand times. But He loves me! I have lost faith in some of my dearest friends and am very desolate. But he loves me! I do not love Him; I am even angry with Him! But He loves me!”

“To love Christ more- this is the deepest need, the constant cry of my soul. Down in the bowling alley, and out in the woods, and on my bed, and out driving, when I am happy and busy, and when I am sad and idle, the whisper keeps going up for more love, more love, more love!”
