bleeding heart
“The heart must be the principal point
to which we attend in all the relations
between God and our souls.
What is the first thing we need,
in order to be Christians? A new heart.
What is the sacrifice God asks us
to bring to him? A broken and a contrite heart.
What is the true circumcision?
The circumcision of the heart.
What is genuine obedience?
To obey from the heart.
What is saving faith?
To believe with the heart.
Where ought Christ to dwell?
To dwell in our hearts by faith.
What is the chief request
that Wisdom makes to every one?
‘My son, give me your heart.’”
- J.C. Ryle
