ENDEAVOR to disengage your thoughts
and opinions from the things that are
Unseen; look at things as God looks at them
and judge them as He judges.

Then the very apprehension of their punishment will doubtless outweigh a thousandfold the gratification, such as it was, which you felt in committing them. |
