This article is from Issue 7, Called to be Filled With The Holy Spirit
By F. B. Meyer
One day when traveling by train, a young man sat opposite me reading Thomas a Kempis’ “Imitation of Christ.” I knew the book, and sat beside him and said:
“A grand book.”
He said: “Yes.”
Said I: “I have found something better.” “Better?”
“Yes.”
“How?”
“Better for me, because I was always a poor hand at imitation. When I sat down to imitate Christ, no one could have guessed what I was trying to attain. But,” said I, “if instead of imitating Christ far away in the glory, He will come by the Holy Ghost and dwell in me, by His grace He shall work through my poor yielded life, a life something like His own fair life.” Christ liveth in me.
“He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.”
O Christ, Thou art one with me, to make me one with Thee world without end!
