If, while
Jesus lived in the World, the mere touch of His garments healed the sick, who
can doubt that when He is dwelling in
the very centre of our being He will work wonders of healing in us if we have a
living faith in Him?
Will He not
grant our petitions while He is our Guest? His Majesty is not a bad Paymaster
for a good inn.
Are you
grieved at not seeing Him with your bodily eyes? That would be a different
matter now that He is glorified, from what is was when he lived in the
world. Human nature would be too weak to
bear it.
Beneath the
accidents of bread, He is accessible – if the King disguises Himself, we
can converse with Him without ceremonies
and court etiquette: indeed He seems to have waived His claim to them by
appearing incognito.
Take
pleasure in remaining in His society: do not lose such precious time, for this
hour is of the utmost value to the soul, and the good Jesus desires you to
spend it with Him.
[The Way of Perfection (1935) 34:9,10]
