Excerpt-
'I Consecrate My All
I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service. Rom. 12:1
God calls for whole-souled consecration to His ways. Our highest powers are to
be carefully cultivated. Our talents are lent us by God for use, not to be
perverted or abused. They are to be improved by use, that they may do the work
of God.
We are to give ourselves to the service of God, and we should seek to make the
offering as nearly perfect as possible. God will not be pleased with anything
less than the best we can offer. Those who love Him with all the heart will
desire to give Him the best service of the life, and they will be constantly
seeking to bring every power of their being into harmony with the laws that
will promote their ability to do His will.
Personal consecration is necessary, and we cannot have this unless heart
holiness is cultivated and cherished.
Let your prayer be, "Take me, O Lord, as wholly Thine. I lay all my plans
at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide with me, and let all my work be
wrought in Thee." This is a daily matter.
The surrender of all our powers to God greatly simplifies the problem of life.
It weakens and cuts short a thousand struggles with the passions of the natural
heart.
Religion is as a
golden cord that binds the souls of both youth and aged to Christ. Through it
the willing and obedient are brought safely through dark and intricate paths to
the city of God. . . .
How many times have the deep things of God been unfolded before us, and how
highly should we prize these precious privileges. . . . The bright beams of
Heaven's light are shining upon your pathway. . . . Receive and cherish every
Heaven-sent ray, and your path will grow brighter and brighter unto the perfect
day.'
