Ignorance Of God And Of Ourselves Is

Leanness Of Body And Soul May Go Together.

We Are Taught In An Especial Manner To Pray That God Would Give His Holy Spirit Unto Us, That Through His Aid And Assistance We May Live Unto God In That Holy Obedience Which He Requires At Our Hands.

The Pretended Desires Of Many To Behold The Glory Of Christ In Heaven, Who Have No View Of It By Faith While They Are Here In This World, Are Nothing But Self-deceiving Imaginations.

The Love Of God Is Like Himself – Equal, Constant, Not Capable Of Augmentation Or Diminution; Our Love Is Like Ourselves – Unequal, Increasing, Waning, Growing, Declining. His, Like The Sun, Always The Same In Its Light, Though A Cloud May Sometimes Interpose; Ours, As The Moon, Has Its Enlargements And Straightenings.

We Can Have No Power From Christ Unless We Live In A Persuasion That We Have None Of Our Own.
