White Hemstitch



“We cannot bear all things now, but the Lord will lead us along, as we give place in our thoughts and schedules and give away our sins, which are the only ways we can begin to make room to receive all that God can give us. Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus! Consecration is the only surrender which is also a victory. It brings release from the raucous, overpopulated cell block of selfishness and emancipation from the dark prison of pride. Yet instead of striving for greater consecration, it is so easy to go on performing casually in half-hearted compliance as if hoping to ride to paradise on a golf cart. Whatever we embrace instead of Jesus and His work will keep us from qualifying to enter His kingdom and therefore from being embraced by Him.” – Neil A. Maxwell
