Devotion to God

— fits us for service to men!

We must listen at Heaven's gates — before we can go out to sing the heavenly songs in the ears of human weariness and sorrow. Our lips must be touched with a coal from God's altar — before we can become God's messengers to men.

We must lie much upon Christ's bosom — before our poor earthly lives can be struck through with the spirit of Christ and made to shine in the transfigured beauty of His blessed life.

Devotion is never to displace duty — it often brings new duties to our hands. Devotion to God — fits us for service to men!

"Follow Me — and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19
