Listen from:
"He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them." Mark 10:1616And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. (Mark 10:16).
This is what He does where there is no conscious strength, but simple clinging. It is more than turning to His power or His mercy; it is simple repose in the arms of Christ. It just lies there, and has the satisfaction of being taken care of. Here then I get confidence. I feel that I simply could not do without the Lord. Is it not pleasant for the heart to be able thus to delight in God?—to be able to say: I am a poor creature, without means, but He has taken me up in His arms and laid His hands upon me; whereas, if I were a man of great natural resources, perhaps I should find it very difficult to give up everything for Christ.
