The Gladness of Faith

“It is not quite the thing to speak of the gladness of faith; for faith is gladness itself. Joy and believing always go hand in hand, rejoicing and trusting are twin attitudes of the soul. Believe Him, and you are at once glad; let the spirit of rejoicing in, and your faith immediately takes hold of his words. Therefore, since the just live by faith, they must be a glad people; and since they walk by faith, they must also walk rejoicingly in the comfort of the Holy Ghost. Quiet, it may be, but glad; submissive, but unassumingly happy. O beloved! I call you to a life of simple faith in him. It pays a hundredfold in this world; and in the world to come what will be its compensation?”
