“We have heard many people tell how hard they found it to do right; their Christian life was most unsatisfactory to them, being marked only by failure, and they were tempted to give up in discouragement.
No wonder they get discouraged; continual failure is enough to discourage anybody.
The bravest soldier in the world would become faint-hearted if he had been defeated in every battle.
Sometimes these persons will mournfully tell that they have about lost confidence in themselves.
Poor souls, if they would only lose confidence in themselves entirely, and would put their whole trust in the One who is mighty to save, they would have a different story to tell…” (emphasis supplied)
--E.J. Waggoner; from the book, ‘Lessons on faith.’
