"God, I give you glory for
everything else, but not my faith ... This is the one thing that
is my very own, that I produced of my fallen natural capacities.
For this little bit the glory is mine. So I thank you Lord that
I am not like other men who do not have faith. When you extended
your grace to all men, some did not make use of it,
BUT I DID. While You deserve glory
for all I have Lord, my faith was the one
part that I contributed to the price of my redemption,
apart from and independent of the effectual work of Your Holy
Spirit."
