This Presence is Definite in its Purpose. The soil in which we are to grow, and the base on which we ground, is the love of God in Christ. This Presence is Satisfying in its Knowledge. To know the love of Christ means to have an anchor to hold, a joy to thrill, a power to move, a sap to fructify, a foundation to uphold, a rule to guide, and a fulness to satisfy. All God's acts of grace to and in us are leading up to the display of His glory through us.
Grace never acts with the intent of bringing glory to itself.
Grace is its own glory. There is no glory so glorious as grace acting in its disinterestedness. The beauty of grace is, it loves to beautify others to its own loss and displacement, but therein its beauty and glory are enhanced.
