They forsook all and followed Him.
Luke v.11.
Let it seem to thee as if thou wert travelling in the company of a kind and beloved friend, through a foreign land and a desert wilderness. From love to this intimate friend do all, suffer all, and assent to all, that befalls thee in this world, be it little or much.
Tersteegen.
Gerhard Tersteegen.
1697-1769.
German Reformed writer and poet
"Let Him lead thee blindfold onwards,
Love needs not to know;
Children whom the Father leadeth
Ask not where they go.
Though the path be all unknown
Over moors and mountains lone.
Give no ear to reason's questions;
Let the blind man hold
That the sun is but a fable
Men believed of old.
At the breast the babe will grow;
Whence the milk he need not know.
