From John the Baptist, by F.B. Meyer
Life must be centred in Christ if it is to be concentric with all the circles of heaven’s bliss.
We become weak by continual contact with our fellows; but in loneliness and solitude, wherein we meet God, we become strong.
The strength of a man is in proportion to the feelings which he curbs and subdues, and not which subdue him.
Repentance is an act of the will—in its beginning there may be no sense of gladness or reconciliation with God.
Sorrow opens our eyes, and bids us see visions within the vail, which cannot be described by those who have not wept.
