I find that there's a problem in me, and it is I constantly find that my
love cools. But if I will consistently look at the lovely one, he will
keep it aglow. He will keep it aflame.

He'll be the keeper of the flame, the keeper of my faith. If I would
just look to him, even the scriptures tell us that looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of your faith, how does he author it, and how
does he finish it? By you looking at him. I need to keep my eyes on
Jesus.

How many of you are with me? There's a quote from Jonathan Edwards. He
said, the beauty of Christ bows the will and draws the heart. Think
about those two things.

The beauty of Christ, when you see him as he in fact is, he is—he is—he
will never be anything otherwise than all fair.
