Foreword
After twelve years of ministry, a ministry that God was pleased to bless in many ways, I sat one day doing what a merchant would call “taking an account of stock.” I could do nothing but praise the Lord for His goodness to me, but I found I was without what many others in whom I had perfect confidence claimed to have received. I experienced a feeling of unrest and a longing for God which never can be put into words. The darkness seemed to increase as the days passed. I felt I needed help from a source higher than man.
When I was ready to hear and obey, God spoke to me in a remarkable way. I was reading in a secular paper an extended account of the Northfield Conference, when my eyes lighted on the name of Reverend F. B. Meyer. I shall never forget one sentence of his: “If you are not willing to forsake all for Christ, then are you simply willing to say, ‘I am willing to be made willing’?”
That was God’s own message to my very soul, and Mr. Meyer brought it to me from Him. It was the crisis of my life. From that day on, I have read all that I could find coming from his pen.
I do not believe that there is a more intensely spiritual and, at the same time, so helpful and practical a writer in the world today as this man, whom I rejoice to call my friend.
These meditations are as sweet as honey in the honeycomb. They open up the deep things of God, but in such a helpful way that anyone can understand if he is only willing.
I could wish my friends no greater blessing than that Mr. Meyer’s message might be to them all that it has been to me.
