MYSTICISM;
JESUS CHRIST: LOVE FOR

When I read the writings of the old mystics and the devotional writings and hymn writers of the Middle Ages and later, I get sick in my heart and I tell God, “God, I’m sorry; I apologize and I’m ashamed.

I don’t love You the way these loved You.” Read the letters of Samuel Rutherford. If you haven’t, you should. Read those letters and then see how sick it’ll make you. You’ll fold that book shut and get down on your knees very likely and say, “Lord Jesus, do I love You at all considering that this was love? Then what have I, what have I got?”

Success and the Christian, 77.
