Invincibly and irresistibly drawn

Back to The Lovingness of Jesus Index

As the Lord is pleased to enlighten his mind, the Christian sees . . .
such a beauty,
such a blessedness,
such a heavenly sweetness,
such a divine loveliness, 
such a fullness of surpassing grace,
such tender condescension,
such unwearied patience,
such infinite compassion,
in the Lord of life and glory—that he is as 
if invincibly and irresistibly drawn by these 
attractive influences to come to His feet to 
learn of Him. So far as the Lord is pleased to 
reveal Himself in some measure to his soul, 
by the sweet glimpses and glances which he 
thus obtains of His Person and countenance, 
he is drawn to His blessed Majesty by cords 
of love to look up unto Him and beg of Him
that He would drop His word with life and 
power into his heart.
