Love Is The Beauty And The Strength

Men, Even The Elect, Have Too Many Infirmities To Come To Christ Without Help From Heaven; Inviting Will Not Do.

Conversion Is Not The Smooth, Easy-going Process Some Men Seem To Think... It Is Wounding Work, This Breaking Of The Hearts, But Without Wounding There Is No Saving... Where There Is Grafting There Will Always Be A Cutting, The Graft Must Be Let In With A Wound; To Stick It Onto The Outside Or To Tie It On With A String Would Be Of No Use. Heart Must Be Set To Heart And Back To Back Or There Will Be No Sap From Root To Branch. And This, I Say, Must Be Done By A Wound, By A Cut.

To Lay Hold Of And Receive The Gospel By A True And Saving Faith Is An Act Of The Soul That Has Been Made A New Creature, Which Is The Workmanship Of God... Wherefore Whoever Receiveth The Grace That Is Tendered In The Gospel, They Must Be Quickened By The Power Of God, Their Eyes Must Be Opened, Their Understandings Illuminated, Their Ears Unstopped, Their Hearts Circumcised, Their Wills Also Rectified, And The Son Of God Revealed In Them.

I Dreamed, And Behold I Saw A Man Clothed With Rags, Standing In A Certain Place, With His Face From His Own House, A Book In His Hand, And A Great Burden Upon His Back. I Looked, And Saw Him Open The Book, And Read Therein; And As He Read, He Wept And Trembled: And Not Being Able Longer To Contain, He Brake Out With A Lamentable Cry; Saying, 'what Shall I Do?'
