He Who Has Christ Has All He

All The Fruits Of The Spirit Which We Are To Lay Weight Upon As Evidential Of Grace, Are Summed Up In Charity, Or Christian Love; Because This Is The Sum Of All Grace. And The Only Way, Therefore, In Which Any Can Know Their Good Estate, Is By Discerning The Exercises Of This Divine Charity In Their Hearts; For Without Charity, Let Men Have What Gifts You Please, They Are Nothing.

Sincere Friendship Towards God, In All Who Believe Him To Be Properly An Intelligent, Willing Being, Does Most Apparently, Directly, And Strongly Incline To Prayer; And It No Less Disposes The Heart Strongly To Desire To Have Our Infinitely Glorious.

The Soul Of A True Christian, As I Then Wrote My Meditations, Appeared Like Such A Little White Flower As We See In The Spring Of The Year; Low And Humble On The Ground, Opening Its Bosom To Receive The Pleasant Beams Of The Sun’s Glory; Rejoicing, As It Were, In A Calm Rapture; Diffusing Around A Sweet Fragrancy; Standing Peacefully And Lovingly, In The Midst Of Other Flowers Round About; All In Like Manner Opening Their Bosoms To Drink In The Light Of The Sun.

If There Be Ground For You To Trust, As You Do, In Your Own Righteousness, Then All That Christ Did To Purchase Salvation, And All That God Did From The Fall Of Man To Prepare The Way For It, Is In Vain. Consider What Greater Folly Could You Have Devised To Charge Upon God Than This, That All Those Things Were Done So Needlessly; When, Instead Of All This, He Might Only Have Called You Forth, And Committed The Business To You, Which You Think You Can Do So Easily.
