A poor sinner once wrote to his preacher with these words:
Dear Sir, Someone
always told me to look where I want to go. But the question is where
do I want to go. I know as a christian the answer is I want to go to
Jesus. I should look to Jesus. But do I really want to go there. In
my more spiritual time, when I had little of the world in me, and I
had the beauty of Jesus in my soul, my answer would have been I want
to look to Jesus to be exactly like him. To go where he is. But now, I
have nothing but sadness in my heart because of my sins. Jesus is far
gone from my sight and I am really apprehensive to go where he is
because he might say to me those terrible words, 'depart from me ye
cursed of my father.' I tell you Sir that I am worse than those who have
been diagnosed with depression, for mine is a spiritual depression, a
long recession in God's economy. But I do have those moments when I see sunshine
through the small holes of my prison. At times, a little rain simmers
through and I have a little hope again. But it does not last because I
am the kind who has a weak will. Who is no good for the world. Yea, I
am no good for the world because I am not good for God. These are
really sad words that I am writing, but it all flows from my heart. From
a depressed dead heart. I do have debts to pay, many of them owed in love but in my current condition I do not know how to go about it. O for pity Sir, for heaven to remember me. Do write to me soon Sir on how to be encourage again.
From one whose name not worthy to be mentioned
A fallen saint.
