He is risen, I am risen in Him, why then should I cleave unto the dust? From lower loves, desires, pursuits, and aspirations, I will come to Him. He calls me by the sweet title of "My love", and counts me beautiful.
If he has exatled me and think I am beatuiful , how can I stay among worldly people? He bids me "Come Away".~~Further and futher from evrething selfish, worldly, and sinful. "Come away" doesnt have a harsh sound to me, for waht is there to hold me in this wilderness of vanity and sin? Oh my Lord, I would come away with if it were possible, but I am caught among the thorns and cannot free myself from them as I want to. To come away is to come to land out of the raging storm, to come to rest after long labor, to come to the goal of my desires and the summit of my wishes. But Lord, how can a lump of clay come away from the horrible pit? Only YOUR grace can do it. Send forth YOUR Holy Spirit to kindle flames of love in my heart, and I'll will continue to rise until I leave life and time behind me, and indeed come away.
