Adoration is white heat made incandescent with the fire of the Holy Spirit, and it is to love with all the power within us. It is to feel, to love with fear, wonder, yearning and awe... Jonathan Edwards' son-in-law, David Brainerd, would kneel in the snow and be so lost in worship, prayer and intercession that when he was through the snow would be melted around him in a wide circle... John Fletcher, the saint of Methodism, used to kneel in his little bare room on the floor. When he lived out his life and had gone to be with God, they found that he had made a concave place in the floor where his knees actually wore out the boards. The walls in his room were stained with his breath where he had waited on God and where he had worshiped his God in the beauty of holiness. A.W. Tozer
