“Ah, my brother, it is a far harder thing, and it is afar higher proof of a thorough-going, persistent, Christian principle woven into the very texture of my soul, to go on plodding and patient, never taken by surprise by any small temptation, than to gather into myself the strength which God has given me, and, expecting some great storm to come down upon me, to stand fast, and let it rage. It is a great deal easier to die once for Christ than to live always for Him.” SoulChristianDiesGivenChristDealsPrinciplesTakenBrotherGoes OnHigherEasierHarderSurprisePatientStormProofRageTemptationMy SoulMy BrotherExpectingPersistentTextureWovenThoroughAfar Author:Alexander MacLaren
