Excerpt from Quiet Talks on Prayer
A great sorrow has come into the heart of God. Let it be told only in hushed voice - one of His worlds is a prodigal! Hush your voice yet more-ours is that prodigal world. Let your voice soften down still more - we have consented to the prodigal part of the story. But, in softest tones yet, He has won some of us back with His strong tender love. And now let the voice ring out with great gladness - we won ones may be the pathway back to God for the others. That is His earnest desire. That should be our dominant ambition. For that purpose He has endowed us with peculiar power.
There is one inlet of power in the life - anybody's life - any kind of power: just one inlet - the Holy Spirit. He is power. He is in every one who opens his door to God. He eagerly enters every open door. He comes in by our invitation and consent. His presence within is the vital thing.
But with many of us while He is in, He is not in control: in as guest; not as host.
