Be ye also enlarged. - 2 Corinthians 6:13

Contraction is a great evil, enlargement is a great blessing. We need to be enlarged in our knowledge, love, hope, liberality, faith, and every grace. Our God disapproves of contraction. The Apostles set a different example.

Provision is made in the covenant to gratify enlarged desires. The promises warrant enlarged expectations. Jesus bids us ask largely. The gospel calls for enlargement in prayer, benevolence, pity, and compassion, and in our efforts for God’s glory.

Let us beware of narrow views or feelings, for the heart of God is large; the provision of mercy is large; The love of Christ is large the gospel commission is large; and the mansions of glory are large. We are not straitened in God, nor in His gospel, but we are straitened in our own bowels.

O Jesus, enlarge our narrow hearts; expand our contracted souls! Fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Ghost. May we be full of goodness, able also to admonish one another. Oh, to be filled with the Holy Ghost and with power!

With holy fear and reverent love,

I long to lie beneath Thy throne;

I long in Thee to live and move,

And stay myself on Thee alone:

Teach me to lean upon Thy breast,

To find in Thee the promised rest.
