During the Welsh revival a man was saved who had been a notorious drunkard. His transformation made him a sober & respectable man.
The publican was angry to lose such a good customer & called out to him one day as he passed the public house:
"What's gone wrong, Charlie? Why do you keep going past instead of coming in?"
Charlie halted for a moment, then with a skyward glance & a grateful tear glistening in his eye, replied:
"Sir, it is not just that I keep going past; We go past! Ah, yes, that is the secret! We go past - Jesus and I."

1 John 5:5 (NLT): “And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.”
“Feed on Christ, and then go and live your life, and it is Christ in you that lives your life, that helps the poor, that tells the truth, that fights the battle, and that wins the crown.” - Phillips Brooks.
