In The Divine Scriptures, There Are Shallows

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

All That May Be Known Of God For Our Salvation, Especially His Wisdom, Love, Goodness, Grace And Mercy On Which The Life Of Our Souls Depends, Are Represented To Us In All Their Splendour In And Through Christ. No Wonder Then That Christ Is Glorious In The Eyes Of Believers!

Some Relate . . . That The Eagle Tries The Eyes Of Her Young By Turning Them To The Sun; Which If They Cannot Look Steadily On, She Rejects Them As Spurious. We May Truly Try Our Faith By Immediate Intuitions Of The Sun Of Righteousness. Direct Faith To Act Itself, Immediately And Directly On The Incarnation Of Christ And His Mediation; And If It Be Not The Right Kind And Race, It Will Turn Its Eyes Aside To Anything Else.

Leanness Of Body And Soul May Go Together.

If I Have Observed Anything By Experience, It Is This: A Man May Take The Measure Of His Growth And Decay In Grace According To His Thoughts And Meditations Upon The Person Of Christ, And The Glory Of Christ's Kingdom, And Of His Love.
