All Who Are Weary of Sin Are Urged to Enroll, March 1
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
.
It is today that the sweet voice of mercy is falling upon your ears. It is
today that the heavenly invitation comes to you. It is today that in Heaven
everything says, Come
Come, for all things are now ready. Whosoever will, let him come
and partake of the waters of life freely. It is now that we want childlike
simplicity. We want to see everything like pride, and vanity, and folly,
put away. We have the Judgment in view. Men and women will want
strength that is greater than any human aid to lean upon. They must lean
upon the mighty arm of Jehovah. We have in view that day when the
works of men are to be tried, and tested; and we want you to get ready....
We make appeals to you to rid yourselves of the pride of the world, the
pride and vanity, and folly, of life. Jesus loves you. Jesus pities you. The
angelic host He sends to minister unto you. And now, while all Heaven is
interested for you, will you be interested for yourselves
Some men seem afraid to take God at His word as though it would
be presumption in them. They pray for the Lord to teach us and yet are
afraid to credit the pledged word of God and believe we have been taught
of Him. So long as we come to our heavenly Father humbly and with
a spirit to be taught, willing and anxious to learn, why should we doubt
God’s fulfillment of His own promise? ... When you have sought to know
His will, your part in the operation with God is to believe that you will be
led and guided and blessed in the doing of His will.... It is Christ who is
guiding His people today, showing them where and how to work
