　 “他又领我到宽阔之处，他救拔我，因他喜悦我。”（诗18：19）
　　这“宽阔之处”究竟是什么呢？这不是别的，乃是神自己——一切生命河流的归宿。神实在是一个宽阔之处。大卫被领到宽阔之处，是先经过羞耻和侮辱的。——盖恩夫人
　　“我如鹰将你们背在翅膀上，带来归我。”（出19：4）

"He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me; because he delighted in me." (Psa. 18:19.)

AND what is this "large place?" What can it be but God Himself, that infinite Being in whom all other beings and all other streams of life terminate? God is a large place indeed. And it was through humiliation, through abasement, through nothingness that David was brought into it. --- Madame Guyon.

"I bare you on eagle's wings, and brought you unto myself."(Exod. 19:4.)

Fearing to launch on "full surrender's" tide.
I asked the Lord where would its waters glide
My little bark, "To troubled seas I dread?"
"Unto Myself," He said.

Weeping beside an open grave I stood,
In bitterness of soul I cried to God:
"Where leads this path of sorrow that I tread?"
"Unto Myself," He said.

Striving for souls, I loved the work too well;
Then disappointments came; I could not tell
The reason, till He said, "I am thine all;
Unto Myself I call."

Unto Himself! No earthly tongue can tell
The bliss I find, since in His heart I dwell;
The things that charmed me once seen all as naught;
Unto Himself I'm brought.
