Booths On Love

General William Booth, Founder of The Salvation Army, is quoted as follows.
"The secret of success is often inquired for. Here it is: it is not in natural gifts, or human bearing, or exceptional opportunities, or earthly advantages, but in a heart consumed with the flame of ardent, holy, heavenly love."

His son, Herbert Howard Booth, founder of The Salvation Army Musical Department, authored these prayerful words.

Let me love thee, thou art claiming every feeling of my soul;
Let that love, in power prevailing, render thee my life, my all.
For life's burdens they are easy, and life's sorrows lose their sting,
If they're carried, Lord, to please thee. If their pain thy smile should win.

Let me love thee, Saviour, take my heart forever;
Nothing but thy favour my soul can satisfy.



PRAY IT... BELIEVE IT...LIVE IT!
