Never pay a compliment at the expense of conscience or of truth. Fear God. Never say what you do not really feel. Confess those sins of heart which no eye sees but God's. Assume nothing that does not belong to you, and comes not from your heart. Beware of adopting another person's experience as your own. Let the fear of God dwell richly in you. Let your heart be right with Him. Do all with your eye upon eternity. Think little of time, except to improve every moment. Have an abiding sense of the Lord's presence with you, and do not be satisfied without it. Never suffer your politeness to carry you beyond truth. Fear God. Let truth dwell in your heart, and nothing but truth flow from your lips. Pray, and look for the answer. Aim always to have the consciousness of God's ear harkening. Be not satisfied with an empty, lifeless form, nor leave the throne of grace without a recognition. Honour the Spirit, and the Spirit will honour you. Plead for His indwelling power. Grieve Him not, lest your heart grow cold, and your soul become barren. Strive to live on high, and you will live holily; and to live holily is to live happily.
