If I am perturbed by the reproach and

misunderstanding that may

follow action taken for the good 

of souls fro whom I must give 

account; 

if I cannot commit the matter adn go 

on in peace and in silence, 

remembering Gethsemane and the 

cross, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love. 

 And this is my verse for this week (I didn't do so great last week)

Acts 4:12

And there is salvation in no one else, 

for there is no other name under heaven

given among men by which we must be saved.

If I cannot bear to be like the father 

who did not soften the rigors of the far country;

if, in this sense, I refuse to allow the law of God (the way of 

trangressors is hard) to take effect, 

because of the distress it causes me

to see that law in operation, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If in dealing with one who does not respond, 

I weary of the strain, and slip 

from under the burden, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love. 

If I deal with wrong for any other 

reason than that implied in the words, 

"From His right hand went a fiery 

law for them. Yea, He loved the 

people";

if I can rebuke without a pang,

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If I know little of His pitifulness

(the Lord turned and looked at Peter), 

if I know little of His courage of 

hopefulness for the truly humble and penitent 

(He saith unto him, "feed My lambs"),

then I know nothing of Calvary love. 

If I do not feel far more for the grieved Savior

than for my worried self 

when troublesome things occur, 

than I know nothing of Calvary love. 

If I can write an unkind letter, 

speak an unkind word, 

think an unkind thought without

grief and shame, 

the I know nothing of Calvary love.
