I appreciate your honesty in saying "and some time when I was dumb and refused to pay the loan".
Too many times we don't do our part in meeting an obligation and then whine when it cost us in the end. When these things happen it is not satan persecuting us or even God sending us a trial. It is simply us bringing consequences onto ourselves. I have been there and done that! More than once sadly.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
