Longing for Sanctification
By L. J. Geroy
SR. L. J. GEROY writes from Ottawa Co., Mich.: I am glad to be able to say that I have made some progress in the Christian life; and through the help of God, have been enabled to overcome many of my evil ways. How bright shines the truth upon my pathway. The hope that I entertain of eternal life I would not exchange for all this world contains. I hunger and thirst after righteousness. I long to be filled with the Spirit of God. I long to feel the blessed assurance from day to day that my ways please God. With the psalmist I can say, Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow; hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. I feel the need of casting my care upon the Lord. Oh! to be kept by the power of God from sinning or coming short of his glory. I long to be wholly sanctified through the truth.
