It is to the dead that the life comes; it is to the unloveable that the love comes; it is to the lost that the salvation comes.
Horatius BonarFaith is not our saviour. It was not faith that was born at Bethlehem and died on Golgotha for us. It was not faith that loved us, and gave itself for us; that bore our sins in its own body on the tree; that died and rose again for our sins. Faith is one thing, the Saviour is another. Faith is one thing, and the cross is another. Let us not confound them, nor ascribe to a poor, imperfect act of man, that which belongs exclusively to the Son of the Living God.
Horatius BonarThy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
