“I am very thankful that I did not keep on hiding my feelings. I almost tremble to think what the result would have been.”
“You have said that you wish to spend your life in serving Christ. Does it seem to you a hard and painful work—a work that you would get rid of if you could—or does working for Christ and confessing Christ before men seem attractive?”
“I think his service seems pleasant; there is no other life that seems half as pleasant.”
“Do you believe that Christ is able to save you?”
“I suppose he is. If he cannot save me, there is no hope for me, for I cannot save myself.”
“Do you believe that he is willing to save you?”
“I think he is, if I come to him and trust in him. I suppose he is willing to save all who come to him.”
“Are you unwilling to come to him—to trust him and submit to him?”
“I don’t know; I have tried to come to Christ, but I have met with no such change as I have always supposed that a Christian ought to have.”
“What do you think it is that hinders your coming into light and joy as others have done?”
