• “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Joy and Strength 12/21

Published December 21, 2019 | By womenofchristianity

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John xiv. 6.

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John xx. 29.

The Way, the Truth, the Life Thou art,
This, this I know; to this I cleave;
The sweet new language of my heart,
“Lord, I believe.”
I have no doubts to bring to Thee;
My doubt has fled; my faith is free.
Harriet McEwen Kimball.

WE have been placed upon the Way. We have been taught the Truth. We have been made partakers of the Life. The Way must be traversed; the Truth must be pursued; the Life must be realized. Then Cometh the end. Our pilgrimage, long as it may be or short, if we have walked in Christ, will leave us by the throne of God; our partial knowledge, if we have looked upon all things in Christ, will be lost in open sight; our little lives, perfected, purified, harmonized in Him whom we have trusted, will become, in due order, parts of the One Divine Life, when God is all in all.
Brooke Foss Westcott.

Love is the life of faith; obedience, the life of love. Yea, rather, Christ Himself is the life of the soul.
Edward B. Pusey.
