Psalms119:56

This I had, etc. When I hear the faithful people of God telling of his love, and saying "This I had, "must I not, if unable to join their cheerful acknowledgment, trace it to my unfaithful walk, and say "This I had not" because I have failed in obedience to thy precepts; because I have been careless and self indulgent; because I have slighted thy love; because I have "grieved thy Holy Spirit, " and forgotten to "ask for the old paths, that I might walk therein, and find rest to my soul" Jeremiah 6:16.
