March 2 Thomas Charles 9

Looking unto Jesus and considering him, is the very life of the soul every step of the way. Whilst the eye is there, faith and patience cannot fail, the soul will be neither weary nor faint. Whilst we are looking unto him and considering him, we cannot but take up the cross, and follow him under the cross, shame, and contradiction.
Thomas Charles 1755-1814
