So, then, dear soul, be encouraged
concerning them; rejoice that God counts you able to fight for Him and
counts you able to win. By looking at them in this light you will make
of them a source of encouragement. That being the case, let the battles
come--they will do you good (2 Timothy 2:3; 1 Peter 1:7).
CHAPTER EIGHT
CONFLICTS WITH GIANT MISTAKE
I make so many mistakes, it seems I am just a bundle of contradictions.
I try to do good; but at times my efforts are so crude that I seem to
do more harm than good. What shall I do? And though all the time I try
hard not to make mistakes, yet I still make them. It seems to me that
surely I am not sanctified, or else I should be more perfect. Do not the
Scriptures command us to be perfect even as our Father in heaven is
perfect? I am not perfect; far from it. Really I must be very imperfect.
Is it right for me to claim to be sanctified? Can you help me?

Let us visit some of the pioneers of Canaan today and ask them to tell
us some of their experiences. Let us see if Faithful is at home. He has
a possession in one of the most charming vales of Beulah, and the beautiful
flowers blooming there and the luscious fruit growing there tend to make
him one of the happiest citizens of the country.
