We serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to his glory and our own advantage.

Christ has taken our nature into Heaven to represent us; and has left us on earth, with His nature, to represent Him.

Though troubles assail And dangers affright, Though friends should all fail And foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, Whatever betide, The scripture assures us, The Lord will provide.

The best advice I can give you: Look unto Jesus, beholding his beauty in the written word.

I make it a rule of Christian duty never to go to a place where there is not room for my Master as well as myself.

I am not what I ought to be! Ah! how imperfect and deficient! - I am not what I wish to be! I 'abhor what is evil,' and I would 'cleave to what is good!' - I am not what I hope to be! Soon, soon, I shall put off mortality: and with mortality all sin and imperfection! Yet, though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be, I can truly say, I am not what I once was - a slave to sin and Satan; and I can heartily join with the Apostle, and acknowledge; By the grace of God, I am what I am!

So dress and conduct yourself so that people who have been in your company will not recall what you had on.
