Jesus Only.

CYRUS, having taken prisoners Tigranes and his queen, inquired of the conquered monarch what he would give as a ransom for his wife. “Give?” replied the Armenian king, “I will give all that I have in the world and my life besides!” Cyrus was so impressed with his heroic devotion to his queen that he freely gave to both of them life and liberty.
Conjugal love and gratitude outweighed all other feelings. So noble was Tigranes in his wife’s sight that she forgot, as it were, the Persian king before whom she knelt.
So the believer, enamoured of Him who is altogether lovely, his Saviour, his ransom, his all, feels that none is worthy a moment’s comparison with him. Like the disciples on the mount, he sees no man save Jesus only.—Sel.
