"How to Live a Holy Life"

" Psa. 4:4. Each
evening in some quiet place and with interior stillness talk with your
heart and let your heart talk to you. Take a distinctive view of your
inward life. You need to be very careful lest you outwardly appear to be a
little more than you really are inwardly.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me." Gal. 2:20. Is it true? Does Jesus live in you? If you are
smitten upon the right cheek, does Jesus then live in you? If you are evil
spoken of, misrepresented, misunderstood, neglected, dispised and
forsaken, does Jesus live in you then? If you see your brother in need; if
you have two coats and he has none, does Jesus live in you then? There are
some in prison near you; there are those who are sick; there are those who
are thirsty and hungry; in foreign lands there are heathen that know not
God,--are you sure Jesus lives in you?
"Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I can not
perceive him: on the left hand, where he doth work, but I can not behold
him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I can not see him.
