"Do not look back on past failure and shortcoming, nor stand in dread of recurring sin; but look up and away to the face of Jesus. Do not, I pray you, live life on the dying, but on the living side. Dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Abide in the house of the Lord all the days of your life. Enter with boldness the Holiest, to remain there. Ask the Holy Spirit to enable you to realize the constant Presence of God. Say to yourself many a time each day, even when you do not feel it, "Thou art nigh, Thou art here." Make your home in the sense of God's nearness. Oh, taste and see the sweetness of such a life!"
