THE HOME OF THE HEART

THE HOME OF THE HEART

What rest and satisfaction the heart finds when simply enjoying Christ! It is the sense of ease and rest that one feels when in the same room with a known and valued friend. It is not so much what passes, as the feeling of resource, and the absence of all fear or care as to anything around or within.

It is the consciousness of being under the shelter of His wing; not merely as sheltering one from what is outside, but still more as assuring one of what His love is.

The heart can only be taught by a heart, and the hand derives its exquisite touches from the heart. The heart learns in the home, and the hand goes out from it to act for the heart: hence, the more you are in your proper home, the larger will be your heart, and the better will your hand do whatever it findeth to do.

Go from the home, then, as the bee from the hive; and all you gather, gather with purpose to carry it back from every flower to the hive - the home of your heart; and thus you will grow in deeper rest and athomedness with Him who makes every place where He is a blessed home to your heart.
