THE EXQUISITENESS OF OBEDIENCE

A heart too tied to this world knows little of the exquisiteness of obedience. To do the will of God in ways large and small uncaps a wellspring of joy within. Happy feelings accompany “bargain-basement choices,” but joy eternal fills the heart of those who know extravagant obedience. “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.”
