What God Says Is Best, Is Best,

Conversion Is Not The Smooth, Easy-going Process Some Men Seem To Think... It Is Wounding Work, This Breaking Of The Hearts, But Without Wounding There Is No Saving... Where There Is Grafting There Will Always Be A Cutting, The Graft Must Be Let In With A Wound; To Stick It Onto The Outside Or To Tie It On With A String Would Be Of No Use. Heart Must Be Set To Heart And Back To Back Or There Will Be No Sap From Root To Branch. And This, I Say, Must Be Done By A Wound, By A Cut.

Hope Has A Thick Skin And Will Endure Many A Blow; It Will Put On Patience As A Vestment And Will Endure All Things (if They Be Of The Right Kind) For The Joy That Is Set Before It. Hence Patience Is Called Patience Of Hope,' Because It Is Hope That Makes The Soul Exercise Long-suffering Under The Cross Until The Time Comes To Enjoy The Crown!

Pray Often, For Prayer Is A Shield To The Soul, A Sacrifice To God, And A Scourge For Satan.

Though There Is Not Always Grace Where There Is The Fear Of Hell, Yet, To Be Sure, There Is No Grace Where There Is No Fear Of God.

What God Says Is Best, Is Best, Though All The Men In The World Are Against It.
