'Loving God
Loving God
"I love You, O LORD, my strength!" Psalm 18:1
We must never think that all our service for Christ, all our acts of love for Him — must be also in some way acts of practical benefit and help to our fellow human beings.
We must never consider all deeds and gifts wasted, which do not feed the hungry or clothe the naked.
In secret we may pour our broken heart's love upon Christ, bathing His feet with sorrowful tears — even though we do nothing in these acts directly for any human life. In our worship we may adore Him and love Him, though we comfort no sad heart, and help no one who is weary.
Nothing makes Christ so honored as our love, and surely we should sometimes just love Christ, forgetting every other person, in the ecstasy of our heart's adoring Him.
"As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God!" Psalm 42:1
