The Dairyman’s Daughter

CHAPTER III
14/19

Then it will teach us all things, and enlighten our mind, and reveal unto us the hidden things of darkness, and give us out of that Divine treasure 'things new and old.' Resting on God to work in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure, we ought always to work as diligent servants, that know they have a good Master, that will surely not forget their labour of love.
"If we could but fix our eyes always on that crown of glory that awaits us in the skies, we should never grow weary in well-doing, but should run with patience, and delight in the work and ways of God, where He appoints us.

We should not then, as we too frequently do, suffer these trifling objects here on earth to draw our minds from God, to rob Him of his glory, and our souls of that happiness and comfort which the believer may enjoy amidst outward afflictions.

If we thus lived more by faith on the Son of God, we should endeavour to stir up all whom we could to seek after God.

We should tell them what He has done for us, and what He would do for them if they truly sought Him.

We should show them what a glorious expectation there is for all true believers and sincere seekers.
"When our minds are so fixed on God, we are more desirous of glorifying Him, in making known his goodness to us, than the proud rich man is of getting honour to himself.
