HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN!

John Bunyan conveys this whole-some counsel to his “dear children.”

“Call to mind the former days and years of ancient times; remember also your songs in the night and commune with your own hearts. Look diligently, and leave no corner therein unsearched, for that treasure hid, even the treasure of your first and second experience of the grace of God towards you; remember, I say, the word that first laid hold upon you; remember your terrors of conscience and fear of death and hell; remember also your tears and prayers to God — how you sighed under every hedge for mercy! Have you forgotten the closet, the milk house, the stable, the barn, and the like, where God did visit your soul? Remember also the word, the word I say, upon which the Lord caused you to hope.”

It is right also that we should search into the riches and glory of the inheritance of which we have been made partakers.

Saints are not so much afraid of suffering as they are of sinning; in suffering, the offence is done to us; but in sinning, the offence is done to God -Goodwin
