You Are Not Likely To See Any

My Lord, I Have Nothing To Do In This World, But To Seek And Serve Thee; I Have Nothing To Do With A Heart And Its Affections, But To Breathe After Thee. I Have Nothing To Do With My Tongue And Pen, But To Speak To Thee, And For Thee, And To Publish Thy Glory And Thy Will. What Have I To Do With All My Reputation, And Interest In My Friends, But To Increase Thy Church, And Propagate Thy Holy Truth And Service? What Have I To Do With My Remaining Time, Even These Last And Languishing Hours, But To Look Up Unto Thee, And Wait For Thy Grace, And Thy Salvation?

Nothing Can Be Rightly Known, If God Be Not Known; Nor Is Any Study Well Managed, Nor To Any Great Purpose, If God Is Not Studied. We Know Little Of The Creature, Till We Know It As It Stands Related To The Creator.

Despair Of Ever Being Saved, "except Thou Be Born Again," Or Of Seeing God "without Holiness," Or Of Having Part In Christ Except Thou "love Him Above Father, Mother, Or Thy Own Life." This Kind Of Despair Is One Of The First Steps To Heaven.

That Which Once Was, Will Be No More. Yesterday Will Never Come Again. To-day Is Passing, And Will Not Return. You May Work While It Is Day; But When You Have Lost That Day, It Will Not Return For You To Work In. While Your Candle Burns, You May Make Use Of Its Light, But When It Is Done, It Is Too Late To Use It.

You Little Know What You Have Done, When You Have First Broke The Bounds Of Modesty; You Have Set Open The Door Of Your Fancy To The Devil, So That He Can, Almost At His Pleasure Ever After, Represent The Same Sinful Pleasure To You Anew.
