Keep on Trusting
Let thy garments be always white. Ecclesiastes 98. Always. Oh, how can that be? They are soiled again immediately after they have been washed clean. Yet God says, let them be always white. And he would not tell you to do what was impossible. Then how are you to help soiling them? Only in one way. Jesus washes us wider than snow in his own precious blood that cleanses from all sin. But will he only cleanse his child just for the moment? Is that all He is able and willing to do for you? No. If you will only keep on trusting in that precious blood and not turn away from it, He says that it cleanses, that is goes on cleansing. Perhaps you never thought of this. Ask him now not only to wash you in the fountain of his precious blood but to keep you in it, to go on cleansing you all day long. Trust him. Trust him to do this. Francis Ridley Havergal.
