Many a time the weak mother leans upon the daughter. So that, in a word, as to the present case, though I yet cannot love God as I would, I hope God will help me, that my love shall be always growing. And do but with patience go on with your work, and no necessary grace shall be wanting unto you. Look that you be patient in waiting, and patient in bearing. Do not misinterpret God s dealings with you.
Patience contributes much to both fruitfulness and comfort.
God in kindness binds-on the plaster, till He hath effected the cure.
