OH 6:37{Do not fear to take the shall to yourself. Remember the great "whosoever will," and look up at this star of promise in the dark. And the Father says, "I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me; for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto Me?" Whose heart? Is it not yours? And if it is so engaged, who engaged it? Who but the God from whom alone all holy desires do proceed?
Behold the handmaid of the Lord!
Thou callest, and I come to Thee:
According to Thy faithful word,
O Master, be it unto me!
Thy love I cannot comprehend,
I only know Thy word is true,
And that Thou lovest to the end
Each whom to Thee the Father drew.
Oh! take the heart I could not give
Without Thy strength-bestowing call;
In Thee, and for Thee, let me live,
For I am nothing, Thou art all.
