I Am Nothing: Christ Is All
I AM NOTHING.—Christ is all; I disclaim as well as disdain any righteousness but his. I not only rejoice that there is no wisdom for his people but that from above, but reject every pretension to any but what comes from himself. I want no holiness he does not give me; I could not accept a Heaven he did not prepare for me, I can wish for no liberty but what he likes for me, and I am satisfied with every misery that he does not redeem me from; that in all things I can do nothing.—Lady Huntington. It is a great thing for a young man to find out early that he is of the minimum of importance in the world; that while it demands of him everything that he can do, it can get on admirably without him. WHEN you are thoroughly humbled the rod shall be laid aside.
