The blood of Christ can cleanse away all sin. But we must 'plead guilty' before God can declare us innocent.
J. C. RyleThere are few professing Christians, it may be feared, who strive to imitate Christ in the matter of private devotion. There is abundance of hearing, reading, talking, professing, visiting, contributing to the poor and teaching at schools. But is there, together with all this, a due proportion of private prayer? Are believing men and women sufficiently careful to be frequently alone with God?
J. C. RyleJesus hears us, and in His own good time will give an answer... He may sometimes keep us long waiting...but He will never send us empty away.
