“ I fear God never showed mercy to one so vile as I. ”
Ardent love or desire introduced, as passionately longing to please and glorify the Divine Being, to be in every respect conformed to him, and in that way to enjoy him.
~ David Brainerd
We are a long time in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God.
Once more, Never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace.
If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.
