"The very point of her anguish consisted in this,—namely, that she believed Christ to be a full and free Savior, and yet could find no evidence in her heart that she trusted in Him. The promises were precious things in her heart’s estimation, but they seemed to her to be precious things which she did not embrace. She distrusted herself, but not God. She was afraid to believe that she was a believer. She was so tremblingly afraid of getting wrong, that she dared not think she could possibly be right."

"She was in darkness, not because she had no faith, but because she did not believe she had any. She had a title to heaven, without having eyes to read it."
