Divine Energy

“This one thing I do.”
— Phil. 3:13

“Where there is the energy of the Spirit, there is light, and a single eye which makes us judge that Christ is worth all, and that all else is worth nothing: and this purifies the saint's heart.”

“We need to be constantly renewed; without that, spiritual energy does not keep up. … And it is not progress in knowledge that effects that … what is of moment is the keeping of oneself near God. There love maintains itself and grows — His love in our soul.”
