“Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth
that I desire besides thee.”
Psalm 73:25
I cannot sufficiently stress the importance of loving the
Lord with our whole heart. God calls for no less than this. He is unwilling to
share our hearts with anyone or anything else. Even should he receive the
biggest share, he is still not well pleased. He asks us to love him totally.
God does not tolerate competition. Our all must be on the
altar. This is the Christian’s way to spiritual power. And shortly after the
sacrifice is laid on the altar—nay, after the last sacrifice is duly placed
there—fire will come down from heaven. Without the altar, there will be no heavenly
fire.
Neither our mental understanding of the cross of Christ
nor our endless talk about it will give us the power of the Holy Spirit. Only our
laying everything on the altar for love of him will do that.
