To God’s saints I would say, cultivate an habitual, a growing meetness for heaven. Be not satisfied with past attainments, with your present measure of grace and standard of holiness; but, beloved, since heaven is a holy place, cultivate holiness, an habitual growing meetness for “the inheritance of the saints in light.” Be advancing, be progressing, be pressing onwards; “putting on the whole armour of God,” casting aside “the weight that so easily besets you,” the garment that trails upon the earth, and pressing onward and heavenward, until you reach the confines of bliss, and enter within the portals of glory.
Octavius Winslow — The Inner Life: Its Nature, Relapse, and Recovery (London: John Farquhar Shaw, 1850), p. 289
