"My next step is to get deeper conviction," said one troubled about her soul.
"No!" replied a Christian who was seeking to help her. "Your next step and only step, is to go to Christ just as you are. He does not say, 'Come to conviction, come to a deeper sense of sin.' This you have been laboring to get. But He says, 'Come unto Me'.”
"O! I see it now," she cried, "O how self-righteous I have been, really refusing Christ while all the time I thought I was preparing to come to Him.”
"Will you go to Him now?" she was asked.
"I will," she replied. Enabled to do so, she found rest in Him. Rest is to be found alone in Christ, and His finished work of redemption on the cross.
