“For to me to live is Christ.” To seek His glory, not our own; to exalt Him, not ourselves; to please Him, not our own selfish desires — this is the “first love” of the child of God. To know Him, rather than to seek His gifts; to love Him, rather than to find delight first in His gracious providences — this is the “first love” of the born-again soul.

Louis Talbot (Pastor, 1899 – 1976)
