This quote from Chapter 14 of the biography of Hudson Taylor (written by his son and daughter-in-law), is I think a verse to live by. It’s especially meaningful to me, because it aptly sums up what I have been learning in my life. The quote is from a letter that one of his friends sent him, which God used to illuminate this profound truth about faith in his life. I highly recommend reading the entire chapter, as it is profoundly encouraging, but this little snippet capture the main point very well.
“He is most holy who has most of Christ within, and joys most fully in the finished work”
How then to have our faith increased? Only by thinking of all that Jesus is and all He is for us: His life, His death, His work, He Himself as revealed to us in the Word, to be the subject of our constant thoughts. Not a striving to have faith . . . but a looking off to the Faithful One seems all we need; a resting in the Loved One entirely, for time and for eternity.
