Grace Abounding

Have you forgot the close, the milk-house, the stable, the barn, and the like, where God did visit your souls?

That my sin, when compared to the blood of Christ, was no more to it, than this little clod or stone before me, is to this vast and wide field that here I see.

For here was only room for body and soul, but not for body and soul and sin.

Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them, we shall find a nest of honey within them.

But poor wretch as I was! I was all this while ignorant of Jesus Christ; and going about to establish my own righteousness; and had perished therein, had not God in mercy showed me more of my state by nature.

I can remember my fears and doubts, and sad months, with comfort; they are as the head of Goliah in my hand.
