He kept continually before him _his stewardship_ of God's property; and sought to make the most of the one brief life on earth, and to use for the best and largest good the property held by him in trust. The things of God were deep realities, and, projecting every action and decision and motive into the light of the judgment-seat of Christ, he asked himself how it would appear to him in the light of that tribunal. Thus he sought prayerfully and conscientiously so to live and labour, so to deny himself, and, by love, serve God and man, as that he should not be ashamed before Him at His coming. But not in a spirit of _fear_ was this done; for if any man of his generation knew the perfect love that casts out fear, it was George Muller. He felt that God is love, and love is of God. He saw that love manifested in the greatest of gifts--His only-begotten Son at Calvary--he knew and believed the Love that God hath to us; he received it into his own heart; it became an abiding presence, manifested in obedience and benevolence, and, subduing him more and more, it became perfected so as to expel tormenting fear and impart a holy confidence and delight in God. Among the texts which strongly impressed and moulded Mr. Muller's habits of giving was Luke vi. 38: "Give and it shall be given unto you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom." He believed this promise and he verified it. His testimony is: "I had GIVEN, and God had caused to be GIVEN TO ME AGAIN, and bountifully." Again he read: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." He says that he BELIEVED what he found in the word of God, and by His grace sought to ACT ACCORDINGLY, and thus again records that he was blessed abundantly and his peace and joy in the Holy Ghost increased more and more. It will not be a surprise, therefore, that, as has been already noted, Mr. Muller's _entire personal estate_ at his death, as sworn to, when the will was admitted to probate, was only 169 pounds 9s. 4d., of which books, household furniture, etc., were reckoned at over one hundred pounds, the only _money_ in his possession being a trifle over sixty pounds, and even this only awaiting disbursement as God's steward. The will of Mr. Muller contains a pregnant clause which should not be forgotten in this memorial. It closes with a paragraph which is deeply significant as meant to be his posthumous word of testimony--"a last testament": "I cannot help admiring God's wondrous grace in bringing me to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus when I was an entirely careless and thoughtless young man, and that He has kept me in His fear and truth, allowing me the great honour, for so long a time, of serving Him."
