A life of simple faith

(Gleanings from the Inner Life of Ruth Bryan)

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer
 live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the
 body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
 me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20

Oh, the sweet wonders of a life of simple
faith in Christ! From what little I know, I
am sure it is the most . . .
  flesh-humbling,
  sin-subduing,
  world-crucifying,
  Satan-defeating,
  soul-invigorating,
life in the world!

Unbelief is the source of my misery.

"Lord, increase my faith." Holy Comforter,
teach me how to live Christ at all times,
in all conditions.

Lord Jesus, I am Yours. I submit to Your will,
and unreservedly lay before You myself, with
all I have and am--to be at Your disposal, and
used for Your glory. I am no longer my own--
but Yours; and You, O precious Jesus, are
mine forever!
