True Surrender
Espresso's Rockin' Quote of the Month
[Jesus] says “Come to me,” and there is no profounder word in human language than that. The one thing that keeps us from coming to Jesus Christ is obstinacy; we will do anything rather than come . . . If Jesus Christ is not revealed in us it is because we have views of our own, and we want to bend everything to those views. In order to realize Christ we must come to Him. That is, we must learn to trust Someone other than ourselves, and to do this we must deliberately efface ourselves. Devotion and piety are apt to be the greatest opponents of Jesus Christ, because we devote ourselves to devotion instead of to Him. To surrender to God is not to surrender to the fact that we have surrendered . . . The Lord Jesus Christ is the one Person to Whom we ought to yield, and we must be perfectly certain that it is to Himself that we are yielding . . . .The attitude of coming is that the will resolutely lets go of everything and deliberately commits all to Him. ~ Oswald Chambers
