“Our loins were before ‘filled with pain’ (Isaiah 21:3), because sin’s ‘loathsome disease’ spread  through them (Psalm 38:3); therefore now we consecrate their strength, using it all for Him, ‘the effectual working of whose power’ has set us free.  Yea, whatever can be found anywhere in or about our heart and reins, we yield it all to Him who ‘poured out His soul `unto death.’  This is communion with God.”  A.A. Bonar (1810-1892)
