There is one more thing to say to every anxious reader of these brief thoughts; and if it is put last as to position, do not think that I view it as least in importance. It is this: Do not expect to have the comfort of rest and peace in your soul while some old idol remains undisturbed in the secret of your heart — some old habit still indulged in, some worldly association still cultivated or allowed.
To be brought to God is to be brought to a “holy Father.” Jesus our Saviour is the “Holy One and the True,” and the Spirit of God is the “Holy Spirit.” If you would be happy you must be holy. Happiness without holiness is not of heavenly origin, but earthly, sensual, and devilish.
May this jealous care be ours.
Should the Lord, in His rich grace, be pleased to use these words for your soul’s blessing, kindly pass it on, and pray that others may find God’s blessing on their souls as well.
