Lord's Day

"'Yes, every act of obedience is an act of worship,' he said.

'But why don't we learn that sooner? Why do we waste our lives before we learn how to live?'

'I am not sure,' he returned, 'that we do not learn as fast as we are willing to learn. God does not force instruction upon us, but when we say, as Luther did, "More light, Lord, more light," the light comes.'

I questioned myself after he had gone as to whether this could be true of me. Is there not in my heart some secret reluctance to know the truth, lest that knowledge should call to a higher and a holier life than I have yet lived?"
