A Brief Account Of The Life And Religious Labors Of Sarah Grubb Formerly Sarah Lynes PDF Download

Excerpt from A Brief Account of the Life and Religious Labors of Sarah Grubb, (Formerly Sarah Lynes): A Minister of the Gospel in the Society of Friends In writing to a ministering Friend in 1790, she says: I much wish and desire to be humble; yea, continually to dwell in the low valley. This is often, more often than the morning, the breathing of my soul to the great Searcher of hearts; but the unwearied adversary is so busy and subtle, that I am at times ready to think I shall never attain to that state of purity which when under the precious influence of the power of Holy Jesus, I am enabled to press after. Oh truly I am often afraid I shall fall at last a prey to the de wurer. And what shall I say? May it please Divine Good ness to cut the thread of my life, rather than that I should be a reproach to the spotless truth, the pure truth. I trust I feel in degree what I write; for when I am made sensible of the Lord's hand at work in my heart, I am at seasons ready to say, I will offer unto thee and thy truth not only my body, but all that Thou hast given me, only go Thou be fore. And, oh saith my soul, may I never run before I am sent. This is what I am much afraid of. Very slippery, thou knowest, is the path of this life, and many are the wiles of Satan if, therefore, I should be caught in his snares, great will be my fall. One comfort just now occurs to me, 'greater is He that is in you, than he that is in-the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
