She, in the gospel, who but touched Christ, fetched virtue from him. The promises are not made to strong faith, but to true. The promise does not say, he who has a giant faith, who can believe God's love through a frown, who can rejoice in affliction, who can work wonders, remove mountains, stop the mouth of lions, shall be saved, but whosoever believes, be his faith ever so small. A bruised reed will he not break. A weak faith may be fruitful.
Weakest things multiply most.
The vine is a weak plant, but it is fruitful. He chided his fellow-thief. Weak Christians may have strong affections. Christ will cut off rotten members, but not weak members. Therefore, Christian, be not discouraged.
