To Follow the Master

by George MacDonald

To follow Him is to be learning of Him,

  to think His thoughts,

     to use His judgments,

        to see things as He saw them,

           to feel things as He felt them,

              to be hearted, souled, minded, as He was—  

             that so also we may be of the same mind 

           with His Father. This is to deny self and

        go after Him; nothing less, even if it be

    working miracles and casting out devils, is to be His disciple.
