there, the word comes again, <strong>Draw</strong> near with a<br />
true heart 1 Your answer is, Yes, Lord ; with<br />
my whole heart—with that new heart Thou Thyself<br />
hast given me. You make the surrender of<br />
yourself, to live only and always in His presence<br />
and for His service. The voice speaks again<br />
<strong>Let</strong> it be To-day—Now, in fulness of faith.<br />
You have accepted what He offers. You have<br />
given what He asks. You believe that He<br />
accepts the surrender. You believe that the<br />
great Priest over the house takes possession of<br />
your inner life, and brings you before God.<br />
yet you wonder you feel so little changed.<br />
And<br />
You<br />
feel just like the old self you were. Now is the<br />
time to listen to the voice—In fulness<br />
not of feeling ! Look<br />
of faith,<br />
to God, who is able to do<br />
above what we ask or think. Trust His power.<br />
Look to Jesus on the throne, living there to<br />
bring you in. Claim the Spirit of the exalted<br />
One as His pentecostal gift. Eemember these<br />
are all divine, spiritual mysteries of grace, to be<br />
revealed in you. Apart from feeling, without<br />
feeling, in fulness of faith, in bare, naked faith<br />
that honours God, enter in.<br />
Eeckon yourself to<br />
be indeed alive to God in Christ Jesus, taken in<br />
into His presence, His love, His very heart.<br />
1. Be followers of those who, through faith and longsuffering,<br />
inherited the promises. Faith accepts and rejoices in the gift;<br />
