A "Call"

In addition to the first call by which we are brought out of nature's darkness into God's marvelous light, there does come to the Christian, when the Spirit of God works mightily with him, another call by which he is brought into greater familiarity with the Lord Jesus, taught more of conformity to Him in His sufferings, and made to be more fully a partaker of the height and depth and breadth and length of that love which passes all understanding.

To be saved and not to know it is a small privilege, but to be saved and to know it, nay, to know Him who is the resurrection and the life and to sit with Him and sup with Him and to feel that His shadow yields a great delight and that His fruit is sweet to one's taste--this is a way of living which angels might almost envy the favored humans who possess it.
--Charles Spurgeon
