Help

"When man has done his best, and yet that best is nothing, then comes HELP. This kind messenger is CHRIST. He reproves the Pilgrim that he had not looked for 'the steps.' And CHRISTIAN answers that 'fear followed' him, and thus he missed the steps. These stepping-stones are the promises of God in Christ. Now 'fear' never yet brought a man to the promises; it only drives us from them, so that we lose the way."[1]
