Some are melted by the tale of redeeming love. The Word of God reveals the sufferings of Christ, the love that led Him down to death, and when that love is believed and received, it melts the heart and bows that one at the feet of Jesus.
Have you seen the cold bars of metal thrown into the great smelting furnace to come out glowing red? That is how the heart is melted: it goes into the love of Christ, as it were: “Believe in My love”—and comes out with that love in it, “Ye in Me, I in you.”
A flax thread in oceans of fire,
How soon swallowed up would it be?
Yet sooner in oceans of mercy,
The sinner that cometh to Me.
