This Is Faith: A Renouncing Of Everything

This Is Faith: A Renouncing Of Everything We Are Apt To Call Our Own And Relying Wholly Upon The Blood, Righteousness And Intercession Of Jesus.

The Christian Must Know That The Season, Measure, And Continuance Of His Sufferings Are Appointed By Infinite Wisdom, And Designed To Work For His Everlasting Good; And That Grace And Strength Shall Be Afforded Him According To His Need.

If Two Angels Were To Receive At The Same Moment A Commission From God, One To Go Down And Rule Earth’s Grandest Empire, The Other To Go And Sweep The Streets Of Its Meanest Village, It Would Be A Matter Of Entire Indifference To Each Which Service Fell To His Lot, The Post Of Ruler Or The Post Of Scavenger; For The Joy Of The Angels Lies Only In Obedience To God’s Will, And With Equal Joy They Would Lift A Lazarus In His Rags To Abraham’s Bosom, Or Be A Chariot Of Fire To Carry An Elijah Home.

There Is Many A Thing Which The World Calls Disappointment; But There Is No Such Thing In The Dictionary Of Faith. What To Others Are Disappointments Are To Believers Intimations Of The Will Of God.

God Sometimes Does His Work With Gentle Drizzle, Not Storms.
