<strong>The</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Life</strong>.<br />
feeling, but by faith in this love, can you do your<br />
work. "Beloved, keep yourselves in the love of<br />
God. And on some have mercy who are in doubt<br />
and some save, snatching them out of the fire ; and<br />
on some have mercy v^^ith fear." <strong>The</strong> flesh often<br />
thinks that strength and force do more than love<br />
and patience. But that is not so : love achieves<br />
everything : it has overcome on the cross.*<br />
Such work must be the work of faith, of faith<br />
working by love : faith that the Lord desires to use<br />
you and will use you. Be not afraid on account of<br />
your weakness : learn in the Scriptures what glorious<br />
promises God from time to time gave to those who<br />
had to speak for Him.'^ Surrender yourself continually<br />
to God to be used for the rescue of souls, and<br />
take your stand on the fact that He who has redeemed<br />
you for this end, will for this end bless you. Although<br />
your work is in weakness and fear, although no<br />
blessing appears to come, be of good courage: at<br />
His time, we shall reap.^ Be filled with faith in the<br />
power of God, in His blessing upon you, and in the<br />
certainty of the hearing of prayer.<br />
*<br />
'<br />
If any man see<br />
his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall<br />
ask, and God will give him life." Whether it be the<br />
most miserable and neglected, or whether it be the<br />
decent but indifferent who does not know his sin, take<br />
courage, the Lord is mighty to bless : He hears prayer.<br />
