GEMS OF THOUGHT
GRACE. The Christian graces are like perfumes, the more they are pressed, the sweeter they smell; like stars that shine brightest in the dark; like trees which, the more they are shaken, the deeper root they take, and the more fruit they bear. —Beaumont.
. The being of grace must go before the increase of it; for there is no growth without life, and no building without a foundation.—Lavington.
As grace is first from God, so it is continually from Him, as much as light is all day long from the sun, as well as at first dawn or at sun-rising — Jonathan Edwards.
What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds. —Mary Baker Eddy.
Grace comes into the soul, as the morning sun into the world; first a dawning; then a light; and at last the sun in his full and excellent brightness—Thomas Adams.
There is no such way to attain to greater measure of grace as for a man to live up to the little grace he has. James Gordon Brooks.
