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.”

  • “Jesus, who so often says “Whoever loves Me…” “Do you love Me?” is concerned about our LOVE! He is concerned about a special kind of love…He who has loved us so much wants to possess us completely, with everything we are and have. Jesus gave Himself wholly and completely for us. Now His love is yearning for us to surrender ourselves and everything that we are to Him, so that He can really be our “first love” – Basilea Schlink

Verse of the Day

[BOOK ONE Psalms 1–41][The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly] Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. — Psalm 1:1-2 (NKJV)
