The Cords of Love

THE CORDS OF LOVE.—Religion is the golden chain God lets down from heaven, with a link for every person who wills, inviting each to take hold, that they may be drawn by it to himself. You can readily perceive how disagreeable it would be to be linked to one whom you dislike, and drawn by him whithersoever he wills; but you would gladly be drawn and guided in everything by the person you ardently loved. There is this difference between the Christian and the sinner. However reluctant and full of hatred, still the sinner is controlled by God. The Christian is equally in his hands, but is drawn by the cords of love.—Sel.
