• “I entreat you, give no place to despondency. This is a dangerous temptation–a refined, not a gross temptation of the adversary. Melancholy contracts and withers the heart, and renders it unfit to receive the impressions of grace. It magnifies and gives a false colouring to objects, and thus renders your burdens too heavy to bear. God’s designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.” – Madame Guyon

Twenty-Fourth Day – Royal Invitation – by Francis R. Havergal

Published April 24, 2020 | By womenofchristianity

Will You Not Come?

‘Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also.’—Ps. lxviii. 18.

WILL you not come to Him for life?
Why will ye die, oh why?
He gave His life for you, for you!
The gift is free, the word is true!
Will you not come? oh, why will you die?
 
Will you not come to Him for peace—
Peace through His cross alone?
He shed His precious blood for you;
The gift is free, the word is true!
He is our Peace! oh, is He your own?
 
Will you not come to Him for rest?
All that are weary, come!
The rest He gives is deep and true;
‘Tis offered now, ’tis offered you!
Rest in His love, and rest in His home.
 
Will you not come to Him for joy,—
Will you not come for this?
He laid His joys aside for you,
To give you joy, so sweet, so true!
Sorrowing heart, oh drink of the bliss!
 
 
Will you not come to Him for love—
Love that can fill the heart,
Exceeding great, exceeding free?
He loveth you, He loveth me!
Will you not come? Why stand you apart?
 
Will you not come to Him for all?
Will you not ‘ taste and see’?
He waits to give it all to you;
The gifts are free, the words are true!
Jesus is calling, ‘Come unto Me!’

  • “But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon
