When I go overseas…I got a lovely wife. And I tell her now, “Good-bye, sweetheart, you pray for me now.” She prays for me. When I'm overseas, and am, well, gone for months, and I pick up a letter, she'll say, “Dear Billy, I am sitting here tonight with the children, thinking much of you…” Now, I see what she's writing on the paper, but you see, I love her so much till I—I can read between the lines. I know what she's talking about. See?
And that's the way it is with God. You can't just set down and read it in a cold formal heart. You've got to be in love with the Author, and then you can read between the lines. Then you—you have an understanding of the Scriptures.
