JOURNEY OF THE HEART

By A. W. Tozer

 And they said. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved.                                        - Acts 16:31

       I object to the charge that "Tozer preaches experience."
I preach Christ, the Savior - that is my calling!  But I am
positive about the validity, the reality and the value of
genuine Christian experience.  We can talk to Jesus just as
we talk to our other friends.

      As a boy, I was not a Christian. I did not have the
privilege of growing up in a home where Christ was
known and loved.  God spoke to me through a street
preacher who quoted the words of Jesus, "Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest."

       That invitation let me know that Jesus is still calling
"Come now!" I went home and up into the attic.  There, in
earnest prayer, I gave my heart and life to Jesus Christ.

      My feet had taken me home and into the attic.  But it
was my heart that went to Jesus!  Within my heart I
consented to go to Jesus. I have been a Christian ever
since that moment.
