"Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.... Jesus saith to Simon Peter... lovest thou Me more than these?" (John 21:10,15).
What a question Jesus posed!
"Do you love Me more than these?"
How the heart is thus exposed,
As it harbors vanities!
"More than these" in Peter's case
Might refer to all those fish.
It's what we are inclined to chase;
It's what our hearts may vainly wish.
God the Holy Spirit sees
And knows our hearts are thus inclined.
Do we love You "more than these?"
Expel these idols, Lord, You find!
