If you keep the way of innocence, the way of righteousness, if
you walk with a firm and steady step, if, depending on God with your whole
strength and with your whole heart, you only 'be' what you have begun to be,
liberty and power to do is given you in proportion to the increase of your
spiritual grace. For there is not, as in the case with earthly benefits,
any measure of stint in the dispensing of the heavenly gift. The Spirit
freely flowing forth is restrained by no limits, is checked by no closed barriers
within certain bounded spaces; It flows perpetually, It is exuberant in Its
affluence. Let our hearts only be athirst, and be ready to receive: in
the degree in which we bring to it a capacious faith, in that measure we draw
from It an overflowing grace.
