Wednesday Wisdom 02.21.18

"I have been examining myself and looking back upon my past life, but I can find nothing in myself and nothing in all my past services to recommend me at the bar of Jehovah. Christ is my all. His blood is my only hope of acceptance...My pains are great; but, blessed be God, they are not eternal. I long to be in heaven." - Lemuel Haynes, quoted by Timothy Mather Cooley, Sketches of the Life and Character of the Rev. Lemuel Haynes
