DO I LOVE HIM ENOUGH?

‘OKU LAHI NAI ‘EKU ‘OFA KIATE IA?

1 PETER 1:8

and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory

1 PITA 1:8

‘A ia neongo kuo te‘eki te mou mamata ki ai, ka ‘oku mou ‘ofa ki ai; ‘a ia ai ‘i he taimi ni neongo ‘oku ‘ikai te mou mātā ia, ka ‘i ho‘omou tui ki ai, ‘oku mou hākailangitau ‘i he fiefia ‘oku ‘ikai malea‘aki, pea ‘oku fai hēvani;

 

Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God Alone

Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe   

If we are to be robed in the power of the Lord, we must feel an intense longing for the glory of God and the salvation of the sons of men. Even when we are most successful, we must long for more success. If God has given us many souls, we must pine for a thousand times as many. Satisfaction with results will be the knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough, and he is not useful who thinks that he is useful enough. Desire to honour God grows as we grow.

Can you not sympathize with Mr. Welch, a Suffolk minister, who was noticed to sit and weep; and one said to him, "My dear Mr. Welch, why are you weeping?" "Well," he replied, "I cannot tell you"; but when they pressed him very hard, he answered, "I am weeping because I cannot love Christ more." That was worth weeping for, was it not? That man was noted everywhere for his intense love to his Master; and therefore he wept because he could not love Him more.
