Confidence, Sister? 1955 .txt text/plain 3872 171 72 Instead of having to deal with creatures who were docile, enlightened, eager to correspond with 1 the eternal designs, God had now to face the results of sin, which made His creatures rebellious, prone to pride and every other evil, weak-willed, spiritually blind, impaired in intellect and subject to disease. If we have never fully acknowledged this weak- ness, if we cannot admit that we are worse, far worse than sick children, if we are unwilling to give ourselves to God, not clothed with our self-made perfection but as a little heap of misery and sin, then it is a sure sign that our sanctification has not even begun. cache/_005457108.txt txt/_005457108.txt
