GIVE

By King’s Messenger

King’s Messenger.
WHAT shall I give? Silver and gold have I none, time and talents are not mine, sacrifice and service are not required; what shall I render? what can I give?—SPACE. That is all He wants—that he requires. Space to receive him! Room for his comfortable indwelling! Turn out, remove, empty of everything. Give him place. He wants to occupy, to make you his temple. But we are preoccupied. The first church, the world, the family, the self have pre-empted his claim, and there is no room. We cry to him to come. He comes, and there is no place for him, and he must return as he came. Pity! Give! give! give! Space, space, space! Better let him prepare it. Don’t try to empty yourself; let him do it all. He will empty, he will fill.
