Christ Will Bear No Equal,

The Christian, Like A Chalice Without A Base, Cannot Stand On His Own Nor Hold What He Has Received Any Longer That God Holds Him In His Strong Hands.

Indeed All The Saints Are Taught The Same Lesson - To Renounce Their Own Strength, And Rely On The Power Of God; Their Own Policy, And Cast Themselves On The Wisdom Of God; Their Own Righteousness, And Expect All From The Pure Mercy Of God In Christ, Which Act Of Faith Is So Pleasing To God, That Such A Soul Shall Never Be Ashamed.

The Possessions God Allows Us To Have Are Intended For Our Use, Not Our Enjoyment. Trying To Squeeze Something Out Of Them That Was Never In Them In The First Place Is A Futile Endeavor. A Cow's Udders, Gently Pressed, Will Yield Sweet Milk, Nourishing And Refreshing. Applying More And More Pressure Will Not Produce Greater Quantities Of Milk. We Lose The Good Of Material Things By Expecting Too Much From Them. Those Who Try Hardest To Please Themselves With Earthly Goods Find The Least Satisfaction In Them.

Truly, Hope Is The Saint's Covering, Wherein He Wraps Himself, When He Lays His Body Down To Sleep In The Grave: "my Flesh," Saith David, "shall Rest In Hope."

Whoever Hath A Seed Time Of Grace Pass Over His Soul, Shall Have His Harvest Time Also Of Joy.
