Its the time of the year again.
And what the Lord saieth?
The words of Elisabeth Elliot in
Passion and Purity -
What kind of God is it who asks everything of us? The same God who ".. did not spare His own Son, but gave him up for us all, and with this gift how can he fail to lavish upon us all he has to give?"
He gives all.
He asks all.
"If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because the pieces will feed a multitude, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad" - Ruth Stull
S.D Gordon, in his
Quiet Talks on Prayer, describes waiting. It means:
Steadfastness, that is holding on;
patience, this is holding back;
expectancy, that is holding the face up;
obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or do;
listening, that is holding quiet and still so as to hear
Trust Me, my child.
