In the gloom a light glimmers and glows.
We have received an invitation.
We are invited to make a pilgrimage—
into the heart and life of God.
The invitation has long been on public record.
You can hardly look anywhere across the human scene and not encounter it.
It is literally “blowing in the wind.”
A door of welcome seems open to everyone without exception.
No person or circumstance other than our own decision can keep us away.
“Whosoever will may come.”

Spring has certainly arrived in Scotland, on that note I was thinking it won't be long until we see the first butterflies. That prompted this post about prayers.

What can we wish for more than "to know Christ and to be found in him?"
Jesus fills our conscience till it is at perfect peace;
our judgment with persuasion of the certainty of his teachings;
our memory with recollections of what he has done,
and our imagination with the prospects of what he is yet to do.

“Precious souls sometimes fight tremendous battles in order to attain to righteousness in trying places. Perhaps the heart has become wrong in some matter where temptation has been allowed to overcome, or at least to turn it aside from its singleness unto God; and the conflict is a terrible one as it seeks to adjust itself and be right with God, and finds itself baffled by its own spiritual foes, and its own helplessness, perplexity and perversity. How dark and dreary the struggle, and how helpless and ineffectual it often seems at such times! It is almost sure to strive in the spirit of the law, and the result always is condemnation and failure.
Every disobedience is met by a blow of wrath, and discouragement, and it well nigh sinks to despair. Oh, if the tempted and struggling one could only understand or remember what perhaps he has learned before, that Christ is our righteousness, and that it is not by law but by grace alone. That is the secret of the whole battle.”
AB Simpson

Another favourite holiness song
This worship song came to mind in my thoughts about holiness.
I have been reading Samuel L. Brengle on holiness recently which was on my mind today. Here is my thoughts in today's blog post.
