It Is Often Those Who Are Despised

Longing, Breathing, And Panting After Deliverance Is A Grace In Itself, That Has A Mighty Power To Conform The Soul Into The Likeness Of The Thing Longed After...unless You Long For Deliverance You Shall Not Have It.

For To Pretend That Men May Live Habitually Sinful Lives Without Any Attempt By The Spirit To Mortify Sin In Them, Nor With Any Desire For Repentance, Is To Deny The Christian Religion.

Would A Soul Continually Eye His Everlasting Tenderness And Compassion...[then] It Could Not Bear An Hour's Absence From Him; Whereas Now, Perhaps, It Cannot Watch With Him One Hour.

Before The Work Of Grace The Heart Is ‘stony.’ It Can Do No More Than A Stone Can Do To Please God.

As A Tender And Loving Friend Is Grieved At The Unkindness Of His Friend... So Is It With This Tender And Loving Spirit, Who Hath Chosen Our Hearts For A Habitation To Dwell In.
