("http://www.gracegems.org/BOOKS/Thomas%20Reade%20books.htm"Thomas Reade, "Christian Meditations") It is the work of the Spirit to animate, 
comfort and strengthen the true believer.

By His gracious influences He sheds abroad 
the love of God in the hearts of believers; 
fills them, at times, with joy unspeakable 
and full of glory, and gives them a peace 
that passes understanding.

The Holy Spirit . . .
supports them under the severest trials; 
preserves them from the power of evil; 
guards them from the attacks of Satan; 
upholds them on their journey through the wilderness; 
and brings them triumphant to the heavenly Canaan.


"Oh, blessed Spirit, prepare me for Your 
abode of glory; wean my heart daily from 
this wicked world; impress the Savior's 
image on my soul, that when He shall 
appear, I may be like Him, when I see 
Him as He is."
