“For it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Phil. ii. 13). It is He that first enables us to will what we ought to do, and then to do what we will. Both the grace we desire, and our desire of grace, proceeds from Him. Without Him, we could not have any grace if we would; and without Him we could not will (or desire, or consent) to have any grace at all. So that I am not only bound to thank Him for His bestowing grace upon me, but also for my desiring grace of Him. For it is He that worketh in me both to will and to do, both to will and desire, and also to act and exercise grace.—Berridge.
