How precious!
(From Octavius Winslow’s, “The Fresh Oil”)
Oh, there is more real value in one ray of the Spirit’s light, beaming in upon a man’s soul, than in all the teaching which books can ever impart!
What tongue is sufficiently gifted to describe how precious is the gift of the Holy Spirit?
How precious is his indwelling;
an ever ascending,
heaven panting,
God thirsting,
Christ desiring Spirit!
How precious are all the revelations he makes of Christ!
How precious are….
the consolations he brings,
the promises he seals,
the teachings he imparts;
all the emotions he awakens,
the holy breathings he inspires, and
the affections he creates.
How precious are those graces in the soul of which he is the Author; the faith that leads to a precious Savior, the love that rises to a gracious God, and the holy affections which flow forth to all the saints!
Oh Steve, thank you for being such a loyal friend and follower. I thought as a new pastor’s wife that I would have countless hours to blog and visit other posts. On the contrary, I find myself visiting, researching for Bible studies and the like. I’ve probably lost many followers because they thought I forgot about them. If you’ve created your own songs and sing them via YouTube or the like, I’d love to hear you!
Thanks again for reading my posts, especially with your busy schedule. Blessings back to you and your lovely wife. ❤
