John Newton: What Trifles

It is sadly true that we simultaneously confess that Jesus is our Savior, Lord, and Treasure; and then ignore Him so frequently, and are drawn away from Him by such insignificant trifles, that it seems we hardly believe that at all. Oh, that my cold, sinful heart would treat Him as He deserves!


"Ah! what trifles are capable of shutting Him out of our thoughts, of whom we say, He is the Beloved of our souls, who loved us, and gave himself for us, and whom we have deliberately chosen as our chief good and portion!"
