CQOD: 10/21/05 -- Tozer: a disturbing adoration

Christian Quotation of the Day

October 21, 2005Meditation:
    I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.
    -- Acts 9:16 (NIV)

---

Quotation:
    The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.
    ... A. W. Tozer (1897-1963), That Incredible Christian [1964]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, send me comfort where I need it and discomfort where I need that, too.
