As with an arch, the grace of God stands the firmer the more weight you lay on it; it’s sufficiency, at least, will be the more evident; the more clearly you will see the promise, “My grace is sufficient for thee.” With the well ever full and ever flowing, our vessels need never be empty.
Whether, therefore you want more faith, more purity of heart or peace of mind, more light or love, a humbler or a holier spirit, a calmer or a tenderer conscience, a livelier sense of Christ’s excellences or of your own unworthiness, more tears for Christ’s feet, or honor for his head, fear pot to draw, to hope, to ask too much.—GUTHRIE.
