CQOD: 04/27/06 -- Rossetti: Love is strong as death

Christian Quotation of the Day

April 27, 2006

Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894

Meditation:
    The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
    -- Psalm 23:1-3 (KJV)

Quotation:
    “I have not sought Thee, I have not found Thee,
        I have not thirsted for Thee:
    And now cold billows of death surround me,
    Buffeting billows of death astound me,
        Wilt Thou look upon, wilt Thou see
        Thy perishing me?”

    “Yea, I have sought thee, yea, I have found thee,
        Yea, I have thirsted for thee,
    Yea, long ago with love’s bands I bound thee:
    Now the Everlasting Arms surround thee,
        Through death’s darkness I look and see
        And clasp thee to Me.”
    ... Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, without You, my case is hopeless; with You, I am safe.
