Are you constantly doubting, and distrusting God? Be assured that this ought not so to be. "Christ has delivered us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us." He came to introduce us to a more generous state; namely, one in which we "may serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life." Is there any thing, then, which "grieves the Spirit?" This may cause the withdrawment of him as a Spirit of adoption, and give occasion for a spirit of bondage. If this be the case, renounce it; and not only renounce, but confess it to God; and, applying to the true mercy-seat, the crucified Saviour, seek for pardon and reviving grace. This, my friends, this is the way to restore the soul.
