"If Christ were to save me from the world and from Satan and not from self, what should I do? I have a self-will of my own. Christ must save us from self, and that is why we often get falls. Peter had a good opinion of himself, and the Lord let him alone. David was allowed to go down into the depths of evil, that he might learn how unlike he was to David's Lord. If any one knows Christ, he will know Christ's willingness to save from self; he will be able to say, 'Ah, there is One up there who if He has to break my heart to pieces in order to break self, will yet keep me unto that day.'"
