Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds, Hebrews 12:3. Fear not; for I have redeemed thee; thou art mine. Isaiah 43:1.

When the perverted spirit of mistrust comes upon you, hasten to Golgotha and behold there what your God has done and suffered for you. When you fix your eye on this, faith and trust must be revived, and the sleep of mistrust and despondency must leave you. Send all doubts and all devils to the cross of Christ; there they may try their strength and demonstrate their power. Do not forget that you, as a defenceless child, are not equal to them and that you can not cope with them. Take refuge in your mother’s bosom; throw yourself with confidence in the arms of your crucified Redeemer; He will fight for you and kill all the doubts and all the temptations on His cross. For in the atmosphere of the cross they do not thrive but must die. If they meet you outside of Golgotha, far away from the cross of Christ, then you are beaten. Their breath poisons, paralyzes and kills you. Keep therefore constantly at the cross of Christ. Consider incessantly His suffering and death by which He has redeemed and ransomed you. Just on that account you are His, and no devil shall tear you from Him, if you only remain in Him, and depart not from His cross. There all mistrusting thoughts and doubts that weaken your confidence, become unveiled as liars and blasphemers. For all doubts in regard to the Word of God and its promises are lies and blasphemies, because they contradict His Word and present it as false and as a fabrication. They are the brood of hell, the children of the devil, which you must crush against the rock of the cross of Christ.

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt an all my pride.

Forbid it. Lord, that I should boast.

Save in the cross of Christ, my God:

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood.
