Father, I want to know Thee, but my coward heart fears to give up its toys.
I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of the parting.
I come trembling, but I do come.
Please root from my heart all Those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious.
Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there.
In Jesus' name, Amen
A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God.
The dearer the dream, the greater the cost.
Yet the greater the struggle of surrender, the greater the surprise.
You are for me, not against me. Remind me Lord!
Whatever you want to remove, please remove. Whatever you want to place, do place.
I trust You my all in all, to give me nothing but the best, even when I fear Your best is not what I want. Teach me to delight in You so much so that Your best would be what I greatly desire and cherish.
