You,
“To Give of Yourself”
You have made a holy gamble
with the only thing of value you have to offer me – your life. It is not so
much a bet to be lost since this life was given to you by me to begin with. Neither
is it a debt to be paid since I paid off the debt of sin that your life has
accumulated. It is a promise, a vow, a covenant. And to make good on it is to
live a life purely for me.
If I asked you to give away
every material thing you have worked for and scrapped together would you be
able to do it? Do you think you are exempt from this lesson of complete
material sacrifice? Could you trust me to provide for you daily without any
prior knowledge on your end? Could you trust that I would take care of every
need? Could you place your faith squarely on this and be still?
It is only through me that
these things can be done. It is only by passing through my refinery that you
can be made solid gold. You will struggle on your own. Ten times over you will
fall. But through me you can rise up again.
