Following Hard After God

“The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of the impulse is our following hard after Him, and all the time we are pursuing Him we are already in His hand.” (p11-12)

“To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.” (p15)

“Now as always God discovers Himself to “babes” and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.” (p18)
