Thoughts for the Day

Holiness, conscious peace

Holiness is not austerity nor gloom; these are as alien to it as levity and flippancy. Nor is it the offspring of terror, suspense or uncertainty, but of peace, conscious peace; not future or probable or possible peace, but present. And this peace must be the consequence of our having ascertained, upon sure evidence, the forgiving love of God.

Horatius Bonar, God’s Way of Holiness, p.37
