Longing Servants

Besides all this, we know from another scripture that the Holy Spirit would have us to be longing servants. Not only girded, shining, waiting and watching, faithful and wise servants, but ardently desiring His coming. "The Spirit and the bride say, Come." When the Lord presents Himself as "the bright and morning star," saying, "Surely, I come quickly," what should be the effect on our souls but the hearty response, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus"? Few subjects are more solemn, and none more eminently sanctifying. For he that "hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure." May we be so taken up with our precious Savior where He is, that our constant cry may be, "Come, Lord Jesus.”
