Listen from:
For the love of Christ constraineth us. 2 Corinthians 5:14
CO 5:14{Do you love Him? If you really do, there can surely be neither hesitation about yielding your hands to Him, nor about entrusting them to Him to be kept. Does He love you? That is the truer way of putting it; for it is not our love to Christ, but the love of Christ to us which constraineth us. And this is the impulse of the motion and the mode of the keeping. The steam-engine does not move when the fire is not kindled, nor when it is gone out; no matter how complete the machinery and abundant the fuel, cold coals will neither set it going nor keep it working. Let us ask Him so to shed abroad His love in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us, that it may be the perpetual and only impulse of every action of our daily life.
He loves the little children so; does darling Eric love Him?
I think the angels must have smiled a rainbow-smile above him,
Yet hardly brighter than his own, that lit the answer true.
Jesus, the kind good Jesus! Me do, oh yes, me do!
