I am the Lord's, and now no longer reckon myself to be my own but acknowledge in everything His ownership and authority. That is the attitude God delights in, and to maintain it is true consecration. I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher, I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, kitchen or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me. Whatever He ordains for me is sure to be the very best, for nothing but good can come to those who are whole His. May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.

I am not my own, i've been bought with a price; precious blood of Christ. I am not my own.
Wow. That is a powerful quote. Thank you for posting that.
ReplyDeleteI was flipping thrue one of his books and saw this at the end of one of the chapters. It is a good thing for me to tell myself. I like to be my own person way to much. Not a good thing if you want the Lord to work in your life.
