William Gurnall in his book "The Christian In Complete Armour" writes:
"Ask faith to look through the keyhole of the promise and tell you what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes; ask it to listen and tell you whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints receiving the reward

Poem: “Just One Request”
“Dear Master for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
