Abba, Father!
      ‘—the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.’—Romans viii. 15. The hardest, gladdest thing in the world is, to cry Father! from a full heart. I would help whom I may to call thus upon the Father. There are things in all forms of the syste ... read more

Kiss of the Spirit
      "While one is yet only in love, the real person lies covered with the rose leaves of a thousand sleepy-eyed dreams, and through them come to the dreamer but the barest hints of the real person. A thousand fancies fly out, approach and cross, but never me ... read more

Life
      ‘I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.’—St. John x. 10. In a word, He came to supply all our lack—from the root outward; for what is it we need but more life? What does the infant need but more life? What does the bosom of his mot ... read more

Light
      This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.—1 John i. 5. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, beca ... read more

Love Thine Enemy

Man's Difficulty Concerning Prayer
      ‘—and not to faint.’—St. Luke xviii. 1. ‘How should any design of the All-wise be altered in response to prayer of ours!’ How are we to believe such a thing? By reflecting that he is the All-wise, who sees before him, and will not block his path. Su ... read more

Self-Denial

The Consuming Fire
      Our God is a consuming fire.—Hebrews xii. 29. Nothing is inexorable but love. Love which will yield to prayer is imperfect and poor. Nor is it then the love that yields, but its alloy. For if at the voice of entreaty love conquers displeasure, it is lo ... read more

The Creation in Christ
      All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.—John i. 3, 4. It seems to me that any lover of the gospel given to thinking, and especially one accustomed to the effo ... read more

      “Father, into thy hand I commend my spirit.”—Luke xxiii. 46. Neither St Matthew nor St Mark tells us of any words uttered by our Lord after the Eloi. They both, along with St Luke, tell us of a cry with a loud voice, and the giving up of the ghost; bet ... read more

The Hardness of the Way
      ‘Children, how hard is it!’—St. Mark x. 24. I suspect there is scarcely a young man rich and thoughtful who is not ready to feel our Lord’s treatment of this young man hard. He is apt to ask, ‘Why should it be difficult for a rich man to enter into the ... read more

The Last Farthing
      ‘Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.’—St. Matthew v. 26. There is a thing wonderful and admirable in the parables, not readily grasped, but specially indicated by the Lord himself—their ... read more

The Mirrors of the Lord

The Truth
      I am the truth.—John xiv. 6. When the man of the five senses talks of truth, he regards it but as a predicate of something historical or scientific proved a fact; or, if he allows that, for aught he knows, there may be higher truth, yet, as he cannot o ... read more

      ‘If thou wouldest be perfect.’—St. Matthew xix. 21. For reasons many and profound, amongst the least because of the fragmentary nature of the records, he who would read them without the candle of the Lord—that is, the light of truth in his inward parts ... read more

The Word of Jesus on Prayer
      ‘They ought always to pray.’—St. Luke xviii. 1. The impossibility of doing what we would as we would, drives us to look for help. And this brings us to a new point of departure. Everything difficult indicates something more than our theory of life yet ... read more
