Wilt Love Me? Trust Me? Praise Me? by Amy Carmichael | Women of Christianity

“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

O thou beloved child of My desire,

Whether I lead thee through green valleys,

By still waters,

Or through fire,

Or lay thee down in silence under snow,

Through any weather, and whatever

Cloud may gather,

Wind may blow—

Wilt love Me? trust Me? praise Me?

No gallant bird, O dearest Lord, am I,

That anywhere, in any weather,

Rising singeth;

Low I lie.

And yet I cannot fear, for I shall soar;

Thy love shall wing me, blessed Saviour.

So I answer:

I adore;

I love Thee, trust Thee, praise Thee.
