“He who knows all my sins, who understands all my weaknesses
and unworthiness, He commands me to “be…holy.” He from who all my help must
come—He who knows that I can do nothing of myself, that in Him alone I have
redemption—He commands me to “be…holy.” Then it must be possible. He has found
out a ransom, He knows a cleansing power that is equal to the work, or he would
never have spoken to my poor soul, saying, “Be ye holy.” Dark as it may be
before me, impossible as it may seem to cleanse one so impure as I, yet “with
God all things are possible.” And even in the case of a poor worm of earth,
“all things are possible to him that believeth.”
Let me
no longer doubt; so long as the command is on record, and I am compelled to
believe it is spoken to me, I must—I will believe that it is possible for even
me to be holy.
