The Lord Jesus, Everything. In Himself Worse

It Is True That The Faith, Which I Am Enabled To Exercise, Is Altogether God's Own Gift; It Is True That He Alone Supports It, And That He Alone Can Increase It; It Is True That, Moment By Moment, I Depend Upon Him For It, And That, If I Were Only One Moment Left To Myself, My Faith Would Utterly Fail.

There Was A Day When I Died; Died To Self, My Opinions, Preferences, Tastes And Will; Died To The World, Its Approval Or Censure; Died To The Approval Or Blame Even Of My Brethren Or Friends; And Since Then I Have Studied Only To Show Myself Approved Unto God.

There Were Few People, Perhaps, More Passionately Fond Of Travelling, And Seeing Fresh Places, And New Scenes, Than Myself; But Now, Since, By The Grace Of God, I Have Seen Beauty In The Lord Jesus, I Have Lost My Taste For These Things.

The Spirit And The Word Must Be Combined. If I Look To The Spirit Alone Without The Word, I Lay Myself Open To Great Delusions Also. If The Holy Ghost Guides Us At All, He Will Do It According To The Scriptures And Never Contrary To Them.

I Believe God Has Heard My Prayers. He Will Make It Manifest In His Own Good Time That He Has Heard Me. I Have Recorded My Petitions That When God Has Answered Them, His Name Will Be Glorified.
