People wonder, when they hear so many sermons about faith, and such earnest pleading to believe, and ask why it is they cannot believe.
There is just one answer: It is self. Self is working; is trying; is struggling, and self must fail. But when you come to the end of self and can only cry, “Lord, help me! Lord help me!”–then the deliverance is nigh; believe that. God will bring you in to that rest. ~ Andrew Murray
When I was young, I had a record player and one record: “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” My parents must have gone crazy as I played that record over and over and over again, tunelessly singing along. Some of you may be having the same reaction to all these posts on self. But I have to say that I feel the same way now as I did then, that I have stumbled across something new and marvelous.
THEREFORE, WHILE the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it. Hebrews 4:1 (Amplified)
