They Who Truly Come To God For

When God Is About To Bestow Some Great Blessing On His Church, It Is Often His Manner, In The First Place, So To Order Things In His Providence As To Show His Church Their Great Need Of It, And To Bring Them Into Distress For Want Of It, And So Put Them Upon Crying Earnestly To Him For It.

Every Christian Family Ought To Be As It Were A Little Church, Consecrated To Christ, And Wholly Influenced And Governed By His Rules. And Family Education And Order Are Some Of The Chief Means Of Grace. If These Fail, All Other Means Are Likely To Prove Ineffectual. If These Are Duly Maintained, All The Means Of Grace Will Be Likely To Prosper And Be Successful.

There Is No Way That Christians, In A Private Capacity, Can Do So Much To Promote The Work Of God And Advance The Kingdom Of Christ As By Prayer.

We Have Seen That The Son Of God Created The World For This Very End, To Communicate Himself In An Image Of His Own Excellency. ... When We Behold The Light And Brightness Of The Sun, The Golden Edges Of An Evening Cloud, Or The Beauteous (rain)bow, We Behold The Adumbrations Of His Glory And Goodness; And In The Blue Sky, Of His Mildness And Gentleness.

In All Your Course, Walk With God And Follow Christ As A Little, Poor, Helpless Child, Taking Hold Of Christ's Hand, Keeping Your Eye On The Mark Of The Wounds On His Hands And Side, Whence Came The Blood That Cleanses You From Sin And Hiding Your Nakedness Under The Skirt Of The White Shining Robe Of His Righteousness.
