It would seem that the first thing I have to do is to cultivate a consciousness of God’s love for me, that most amazing fact, and to be sure of it always in the Lord Jesus Christ. If I can only retain my grasp of it, it will invest my life with wondrous dignity, and value; it will sustain me in duty, and comfort me in sorrow, and take out of my heart panic and fear. It will inspire to all that is high and worthy, and prevent me from flinging away or despising the consciousness of my precious portion in Christ.
