Feeling fully what I am in myself, and proving
afresh that "in my flesh dwells no good thing" (Romans 7:18) in this sad state I fly to Jesus as my only refuge!
Oh, that the depth of my sin and misery may be
overcome by His rich grace, that with Mary I may
weep at His dear feet, and love much, having
much forgiven.
While in the body we shall never be free from sin.
I had been looking for something from and in my
flesh which the Word of God does not warrant me
to expect. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh" (John 3:6) and ever will be!
The believer's perfection is in Christ. Oh, that
He may condescend to teach me, and lead me to
look straight out of self to a glorious Christ!

Zechariah 13:1 ... In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
Colossians 2:10 ... And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: ❤
