Gem #83 - A Heart Pounding for Christ

Many a good old gospel blade has been blunt against the hard heart. Many a

piece of the true steel that God has put into the hands of His servants has

had the edge dulled by being used against the sinner's heart. We cannot

reach the soul, but the Holy Spirit can. "My lover thrust His hand through

the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for Him" (Song of Solomon 5:4).

He can give a sense of blood-bought forgiveness that shall dissolve a heart

of stone.
