Quotations from Thomas Charles, The baptism by fire, the touching of the live coal, the constraining love of Christ - these make ministers a flame of fire … They are fiery themselves and set others on fire. Communion with God sweetens every thing, makes our comforts more comfortable and renders every bitter thing sweet. The most humble are those who have most of the image of God in them, and who experience most of his hand upon them. We are never nearer to God than when we are lowest in our own estimation. A true sense of our unworthiness makes every blessing great and precious. There is nothing worth living for but to advance the Lord's work. I can sincerely say that I would far sooner die than live to serve myself.
