I'm a poor sinner, nothing at all,
But Jesus Christ is my all in all.

You may have recalled the old story of Jack, a travelling salesman used to sing this. Those who knew him wereastonished at his constant composure. People around him at his time had a world of doubts and fears for his time was so tough and hard though, and tursting God might be the last thing for a vagabond to associate with a satisfactory meal. They asked Jack why he never doubted.

Jack said he had never doubted he was a sinner and nothing at all. Since he was totally a sinner, why could he, he thought, and should he have refused Jesus as his Savour for every evidence was so clear. Or, what else left could he have done with this situation? Jack said he would never be ups and downs. He could not be ups for he was a poor sinner from tip to toe. Neither could he be downs for he was saved by Jesus. Why sould he feel happy for he was a poor sinner? And why should he ever feel down for Jesus has already saved his soul and promise him to meet him in Heaven?

Amen!

This is a simple story, but highly instructive. We should be like sitting under a shady apple tree, resting in the embracement and feasting on its fruit. Not until today as my special 42nd anniversary being immerged into His endless and faithful grace have I virtually realized the words Reverend Charles Spurgeon, a great humble servant in London, once sermoned, writing down with the help of my brand new PC as one of the greatest birthday gifts ever sent by my brother, after whom so I named my new aide 'Jerry' with incredible emotional impression of brotherhood:

'Tis love that makes our willing feet
In swift obedience move.
