Thought for February 28

[Thompson, Darryl]

     The proud heart strives to earn salvation; but both our title to
heaven and our fitness for it are found in the righteousness of Christ.
The Lord can do nothing toward the recovery of man until, convinced of
his own weakness, and stripped of all self-sufficiency, he yields
himself to the control of God. Then he can receive the gift that God is
waiting to bestow. Desire of Ages, p. 300
