OL 1:4{There is no love so deep and wide as that which is kept for Jesus. It flows both fuller and farther when it flows only through Him. Then, too, it will be a power for Him. It will always be unconsciously working for Him. In drawing others to ourselves by it, we shall be necessarily drawing them nearer to the fountain of our love, never drawing them away from it. It is the great magnet of His love which alone can draw any heart to Him; but when our own are thoroughly yielded to its mighty influence, they will be so magnetized that He will condescend to use them in this way. Is it not wonderful to think that the Lord Jesus will not only accept and keep, but actually use our love? "Of Thine own have we given Thee," for "we love Him because He first loved us.”
Set apart to love Him, and His love to know!
Not to waste affection on a passing show.
Called to give Him life and heart.
Called to pour the hidden treasure,
That none other claims to measure,
Into His beloved hand! thrice-blessed "set apart!”
