Faith Is Not A Notion, But A

The More We Pay For Any Truth, The Better Is Our Bargain.

We Have All Of Us Free Access To All That Is Great, And Good, And Happy, And Carry Within Ourselves A Key To All The Treasures That Heaven Has To Bestow Upon Us. We Starve In The Midst Of Plenty, Groan Under Infirmities, With The Remedy In Our Own Hand; Live And Die Without Knowing And Feeling Anything Of The One Only God, Whilst We Have It In Our Power To Know And Enjoy It In As Great A Reality As We Know And Feel The Power Of This World Over Us; For Heaven Is As Near To Our Souls As This World Is To Our Bodies; And We Are Created, We Are Redeemed, To Have Our Conversation In It.

Devotion Signifies A Life Given, Or Devoted, To God. He Therefore Is The Devout Man, Who Lives No Longer To His Own Will, Or The Way And Spirit Of The World, But To The Sole Will Of God, Who Considers God In Everything, Who Serves God In Everything, Who Makes All The Parts Of His Common Life, Parts Of Piety, By Doing Everything In The Name Of God, And Under Such Rules As Are Conformable To His Glory.

If Anyone Would Tell You The Shortest, Surest Way To All Happiness And All Perfection, He Must Tell You To Make A Rule To Yourself To Thank And Praise God For Everything That Happens To You.

God Smiles When We Praise And Thank Him Continually. Few Things Feel Better Than Receiving Heartfelt Praise And Appreciation From Someone Else. God Loves It, Too. An Amazing Thing Happens When We Offer Praise And Thanksgiving To God. When We Give God Enjoyment, Our Own Hearts Are Filled With Joy.
