People sometimes say to me, "Oh, if God had raised me up from my dying bed as He has you, I would never doubt again!" Yes, you would -- your heart would be mean enough to doubt Him the very next time unless He continually kept you by His grace. Our hearts are so hardened we remember not His miracles unless they are kept tender by the constant influx of His love. It is not the miracles that bind our faith, it is Jesus! He works a constant miracle to do it. Have I abundant faith? It was not because I was raised up from death, but because I have Jesus all the way along abiding in me to be my faith.
