FAITH.—The starting point of obedience is faith; but what I want is, that you start immediately; that you wait not for more light to spiritualize your obedience; but that you work for more light, by yielding a present obedience up to the present light which you profess; that you stir up all the gift which is now in you—and this is the way to have the gift enlarged, that whatever your hand findeth to do in the way of services to God, you now do it with all your might. And the very fruit of doing it because of His authority is that you will at length do it because of your own renovated taste. As you persevere124in the labors of his service, you will grow in the likeness of his character. The graces of holiness will both brighten and multiply upon you. These will be your treasures for heaven too—the delights of which mainly consist in the affections and feelings and congenial employments of the new creature.—Dr. Chalmers.
