They think they will strive more earnestly to improve.
They make endless resolutions.
But all these remedies fall short of the need. They do not go down to
the root of the disease.
Suddenly we find the remembrance of some sin flashes into our thoughts
and makes us miserable; or there is a defilement in our lives which we
cannot get rid of by any of the means within our reach!
What then?
The words of Jesus Christ on the Mount, given so long ago, but of
living power to-day, are—
"Ask! Ask of God." He seems to say, "Ask, and you shall receive!" Go to
God for forgiveness. Ask Him to wash you clean and white in "the Blood
of Jesus Christ, which cleanseth from all sin," and then you will be at
peace, and life will be a different thing to you.
