Ephesians 4:7 But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ! — Now you that have lately been converted, do not go and learn all the pretty phrases that we are accustomed to use. Strike out your own course. Be yourself. "But I should be odd." You need not mind that. All the trees that God makes are odd. The Dutch chip them round, or make them into peacocks, but that style of gardening is not to our mind. Some people say, "What a lovely tree." I say, "What a horribly ugly thing it is." Why not let the tree grow as God would have it. Do not clip yourselves round or square, but keep your freshness. (C. H. Spurgeon.)
