day no. 17,302: if the poor in spirit won't beg, who will?

“We poor sinners need to come back from our wanderings to seek pardon through the all-sufficient merits of our Redeemer. And we need to pray earnestly for the power of the Holy Spirit to give us a precious revival in our hearts and among the unconverted.” ― Robert E. Lee, Recollections and Letters of General Robert E. Lee

If the poor in spirit won't beg, who will? If the humble in heart won't ask, who else would?

If we want the world to repent, we have to show them how.  If we won't go first, who will?  And if we can't, won't, or don't know how, then who does? If we don't believe our own Gospel, why should they?

Romans 10:13-16

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel.

If we who have been sent out by Christ won't go, who can be reached? If we who have been called to speak won't preach, who can believe? If we who know the Lord don't call upon His name, how can anyone else?
