Anecdote from D.L. Moody - Stop Trying

I remember a lady in the north of England who became quite angry when I made this statement: “None in this congregation will be saved until they stop trying to save themselves.”

Down she came from the gallery and said to me: “You have made be perfectly miserable. Why, I always thought that if I kept on trying, God would save me at some time; and now you tell me to stop trying. What am I to do?”

“Why, let the Lord save you.”
