" It will be a blessed life,
because you will be conscious of being at the feet of Jesus. At this moment
you can claim Jesus in His divine humility as the life of your soul. Will
you? Will you not open your heart, and say: "Come in; come in?"
Come to-day, and take Him up afresh in this blessed power of His wonderful
humility, and say to Him: "Oh, Thou who didst say, 'Learn of me, for I am
meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls,' my Lord,
I know why it is that I have not the perfect life; it is my pride, but
to-day, come Thou and dwell in my heart. Thou who didst lead even Peter and
John into the blessedness of Thy heavenly humility; Thou wilt not refuse
me. Lord, here I am; do Thou, who by Thy wonderful humility alone canst
save, come in. O Lamb of God, I believe in Thee; take possession of my
heart, and dwell in me." When you have said that, go out in quiet, and
retire, walking gently as holding the Lamb of God in your heart, and say:
"I have received the Lamb of God; He makes my heart His care; He breathes
His humility and dependence on God in me, and so brings me to God.
