I hope I am under no delusion.

I dare not look for my hope in anything short of the entire fulness of Christ.

When I ask my own heart a question, I am afraid to trust it, for it is treacherous, and has often deceived me; but when I ask Christ, he answers me with promises that strengthen and refresh me, and leave me no room to doubt his power and will to save.

I am in his hands, and would remain there; and I do believe that he will never leave nor forsake me, but will perfect the thing that concerns me.

He loved me and gave himself for me, and I believe that his gifts and callings are without repentance.
