• “There are those who insist that it is a very bad thing to question God. To them, ‘why?’ is a rude question. That depends, I believe, on whether it is an honest search, in faith, for His meaning, or whether it is the challenge of unbelief and rebellion.” – Elisabeth Elliot

A Grain of Wheat by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 12/13/11

“I felt like giving everything to God would mean I couldn’t enjoy anything again.”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: When we choose the pathway of surrender, we may think it will be the end.

“Finally, things got so bad that I had to surrender everything to God.”

Nancy: It is the end for our pride and the rule of our flesh, but it’s just the beginning of life in the Spirit.

When Jesus predicted His death, He said, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.”

He explained what He meant in John 12: “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.”

Jesus calls us to die so He can produce His life in and through us. Have you done that? As one friend said to me:

“It’s like going from black and white to full color.”

  • “I henceforth take Jesus Christ to be mine. I promise to receive Him as a husband to me. And I give myself to Him, unworthy though I am, to be His spouse. I ask of Him, in this marriage of spirit with spirit, that I may be of the same mind with Him — meek, pure, nothing in myself, and united in God’s will. And, pledged as I am to be His, I accept as part of my marriage portion, the temptations and sorrows, the crosses and the contempt which fell to Him. — Jeanne M.B. de la Mothe Guyon, Sealed with her ring.”
