Prayer Will Make A Man Cease From

If That A Pearl May In A Toad's Head Dwell, And May Be Found Too In An Oyster Shell.

I Found It Hard Work Now To Pray To God, Because Despair Was Swallowing Me Up

Wherefore, Though The Christian, As A Christian, Is The Only Man At Liberty, As Called Thereunto Of God; Yet His Liberty Is Limited To Things That Are Good: He Is Not Licensed Thereby To Indulge The Flesh.

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.

Sincerity Carries The Soul In All Simplicity To Open Its Heart To God.
