Then shall ye remember your own evil ways,
and your doings that were not good,
and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight.
Ezekiel 36:31
"But no man can empty himself of self.
We can only consent for Christ to accomplish the work.
Then the language of the soul will be,
--Lord, take my heart;
--for I cannot give it.
--It is Thy property.
--Keep it pure, for I cannot keep it for Thee.
--Save me in spite of myself, my weak, unchristlike self.
--Mold me, fashion me, raise me into a pure and holy atmosphere, where the rich current of Thy love can flow through my soul."
