A Happy Secret.

 
A GREAT secret is learned in Christian experience when Christ Himself is taken by faith as Deliverer and Strength day by day. So long as we try to master ourselves we remain in bondage to ourselves, but when we cast ourselves in our utter helplessness to do or to think as of ourselves one single good thing, the dawn of victory has risen upon us. Some Christians are ever struggling to be free, and to be victors; others, sensible of their utter weakness and worthlessness in themselves, seek Christ’s strength, and thus overcome in His power.
