"Will God withhold His blessing until I become pure?                                               Jesus said "blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." He will bless my very effort after purity, though I fail. He will accept the mere desire for Him; the mere wish of my heart to be like Him; the mere throb of my pulse to be near Him. Though I have not reached Him, if I only see in Him a beauty that I long for He will count it to me for righteousness. Though I claim not to be like Him, and despair that I'll ever touch the hem of His garment, if only I can admire from afar the kingliness of His beauty He will bless my very hunger and thirst for Him." George Matheson.
