Striving for Sanctification
By Harriet E. Satterlee
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS : I have long felt a desire to say a few words through the Review. I feel very grateful for the light of present truth, and that I had a willing heart to embrace it. I want to be sanctified through it, and purified by obeying it, till I shall truly be a fit temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in. I can say that I love God and his word, and it is my delight to do his will; yet I realize that I come far short of glorifying him in all I do and say. I am striving to be more like my blessed Redeemer. I live where I can attend meeting every Sabbath, also where all the ordinances of the Lord’s house are administered quarterly. I have the Review, Spiritual Gifts, and many other publications, to read, and the privilege of daily associating with those of like precious faith. Yet I long for that country where sin can never enter; and in view of the time of trouble, I feel that I very much need an interest in the prayers of God’s people, that I may be able to stand.
