"That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us." -- 1:14.Oh that the Comforter would come!Nor visit as a transient guest, But fix in me His constant home, And keep possession of my breast:And make my soul His loved abode, The temple of indwelling God!C. WESLEY.Thy spirit should become, while yet on earth, the peaceful throne of the Divine Being; think, then, how quiet, how gentle and pure, how reverent, thou shouldst be.GERHARD TERSTEEGEN.I cannot tell you how much I love you. But that which of all things I have most at heart, with regard to you, is the real progress of your soul in the divine life. Heaven seems to be awakened in you. It is a tender plant. It requires stillness, meekness, and the unity of the heart, totally given up to the unknown workings of the Spirit of God, which will do all its work in the calm soul, that has no hunger or desire but to escape out of the mire of its earthly life into its lost union and life in God. I mention this, out of a fear of your giving in to an eagerness about many things, which, though seemingly innocent, yet divide and weaken the workings of the divine life within you.WM. LAW.
