To Suppose That Whatever God Requireth Of

To Some Men It Is Hard Seeing A Call Of God Through Difficulties; When If It Would But Clothe Itself With A Few Carnal Advantages, How Apparent It Is To Them! They Can See It Through A Little Cranny.

Pardon Comes Not To The Soul Alone; Or Rather, Christ Comes Not To The Soul With Pardon Only! It Is That Which He Opens The Door And Enters By, But He Comes With A Spirit Of Life And Power.

Would A Soul Continually Eye His Everlasting Tenderness And Compassion...[then] It Could Not Bear An Hour's Absence From Him; Whereas Now, Perhaps, It Cannot Watch With Him One Hour.

So Great An Advantage Is Given To Sin And Satan By Your Temper And Disposition, That Without Extraordinary Watchfulness, Care, And Diligence, They Will Prevail Against Your Soul.

We Must Not Be Concerned Only With That Which Troubles Us, But With All That Troubles God.
