"Never make a Christ out of your faith, nor think of it as if it were the independent source of your salvation. Our life is found in looking unto Jesus not in looking to our own faith. By faith all things become possible to us, yet the power is not in the faith but in the God upon whom faith relies. Grace is the powerful engine and faith is the chain by which the carriage of the soul is attached to the great motive power. The righteousness of faith is not the model excellence of faith, but the righteousness of Jesus Christ which faith grasps and appropriates. The peace within the soul is not derived from the contemplation of our own faith but it comes to us from him who is peace, the hem of whose garment faith touches and virtues comes out of him into the soul. See then dear friend though the weakness of your faith will not destroy you, a trembling hand may receive a golden gift, the lords salvation can come to us though we only faith as a grain of mustard seed. The power lies in the grace of God and not in our faith. …..Think more of him to whom you look than of the look itself. You must look away even from your own looking and see nothing but Jesus and the grace of God revealed in him."
