Not Only The Guilt, But The Love

A Real Friendship Should Not Fade As Time Passes, And Should Not Weaken Because Of Space Separation.

I Am Not What I Ought To Be! Ah! How Imperfect And Deficient! - I Am Not What I Wish To Be! I 'abhor What Is Evil,' And I Would 'cleave To What Is Good!' - I Am Not What I Hope To Be! Soon, Soon, I Shall Put Off Mortality: And With Mortality All Sin And Imperfection! Yet, Though I Am Not What I Ought To Be, Nor What I Wish To Be, Nor What I Hope To Be, I Can Truly Say, I Am Not What I Once Was - A Slave To Sin And Satan; And I Can Heartily Join With The Apostle, And Acknowledge; By The Grace Of God, I Am What I Am!

If Our Zeal Is Embittered By Expressions Of Anger, Invective, Or Scorn—we May Think We Are Doing Service Of The Cause Of Truth, When In Reality We Shall Only Bring It Into Discredit!

Not Only The Guilt, But The Love Of Sin, And Its Dominion, Are Taken Away, Subdued By Grace, And Cordially Renounced By The Believing Pardoned Sinner.

We Can Easily Manage If We Will Only Take, Each Day, The Burden Appointed To It. But The Load Will Be Too Heavy For Us If We Carry Yesterday's Burden Over Again Today, And Then Add The Burden Of The Morrow Before We Are Required To Bear It.
