He surely will. Believe just now, and henceforth
"let your conversation be as becometh the gospel of Christ."
"I ask Thee, ever blessed Lord,
That I may never speak a word,
Of envy born, or passion stirred.
"First, true to Thee in heart and mind,
Then always to my neighbour kind,
By Thy good hand to good inclined.
"Oh, save from words that bear a sting,
That pain to any brother bring:
Inbreathe Thy calm in everything.
"Let love within my heart prevail,
To rule my words when thoughts assail,
That, hid in Thee, I may not fail.
"I know, my Lord, Thy power within
Can save from all the power of sin;
In Thee let every word begin.
"Should I be silent? Keep me still,
Glad waiting on my Master's will:
Thy message through my lips fulfil.
"Give me Thy words when I should speak,
For words of Thine are never weak,
But break the proud, but raise the meek.
"Into Thy lips all grace is poured,
Speak Thou through me, Eternal Word,
Of thought, of heart, of lips the Lord."
"HAVE YE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE YE BELIEVED?"
XII.
THE SIN AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST.
"Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you."
God is love, and the Holy Spirit is ceaselessly striving to make
this love known in our hearts, work out God's purposes of love in
our lives, and transform and transfigure our character by love.
