What to Go in for.

A YOUNG man in my office, going abroad, said, “I am going in for money!”
I believe Christians ought to have something they are going in for. I am going in for being “filled with all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:1919And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:19).)
Nothing less. It is all in the heart of God that we should have this.
What Christ wants first is not service. The thing that Christ values most is within the reach of the weakest saint. He says, I want your heart; I want to come in and be a dweller there. “That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith.” The heart, in Scripture, is the vessel of the affections. The heart becomes purified by the Object on which it is set.
No one can know my weakness as I know it myself; but still I know He loves me. I can pillow my soul on the love of Christ. Our hearts need solace; but oh! did they know His love? You may get away from all, and yet you are never nearer to the saints than when you are near Christ, consciously.
