This World Not Our Rest
T
The trifler hopes that the time will come at last when he shall trifle no more; the inconsiderate and groveling never think they have enough of amusement, or of sensuality, but are still looking for more enjoyment in the paths of folly and vice; the man of rational research is still in expectation of discovering something in a higher degree gratifying to his intellectual capacities and habits; and he who lives by faith feels that he is far from having attained, and therefore presses forward to the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. It is very desirable then, that this restlessness should always be excited by a right cause, and always urge us forward to a right end.
