Imagine a lily trying to clothe itself in beautiful colours and graceful lines, stretching its leaves and stems to make them grow, and seeking to manage the clouds and the sunshine, that its needs might be all judiciously supplied! And yet in these two pictures we have, I conceive, only too true a picture of what many Christians are trying to do, who knowing they ought to grow, and feeling within them an instinct that longs for growth, yet think to accomplish it by toiling, and spinning, and stretching, and straining, and pass their lives in such a round of self-effort as is a weariness to contemplate.

Put yourselves out in the sunshine of His presence, and let the dew of Heaven come down upon you, and see what will come of it.
