Our heart oft times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake.
John Bunyan
Image
There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God therefore man must be saved by grace.
