To be anxious for souls and yet not impatient, to be patient and yet not indifferent, to bear the infirmities of the weak without fostering them, to testify against sin, and unfaithfulness, and the low standard of spiritual life, and yet to keep the stream of love free and full and open, to have the mind of a faithful, loving shepherd, a hopeful physician, a tender nurse, a skillful teacher, requires the continual renewal of the Lord’s grace.
“Who is sufficient for these things?”
“My grace is sufficient.” (2 Cor. 2:16; 12:9).
