My Lord, My Love

This ecstasy that is flooding over my soul
still covering my being although I am old
God has been my soul’s lover so very long
I never tire of loving Him to whom I belong

Although all other lovers have flown away
My sturdy Rock is steady, even ‘til this day
All other loves were there for a little while
no earthern love can compare, every mile

God is love, you can trust Him this much
He is always gentle, in His slightest touch

    Tozer was right to say once, “Go to church once a week and nobody pays attention. Worship God seven days a week and you become strange!”  These days, though, we would have to say “Go to church twice a week and everybody thinks you’re strange. Worship sports seven days a week and you become normal!”
 

   “Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God”. – John Calvin
    We can turn this around a little and accurately say, the further men are from the majesty of God, the more inflated their opinions of themselves. This nicely explains why the further one is from God, the more one is inclined to rely on self, because, simply put, the less people think of God, the more they think of themselves.
