• “A Christian woman’s true freedom lies on the other side of a very small gate—humble obedience—but that gate leads out into a largeness of life undreamed of by the liberators of the world, to a place where the God-given differentiation between the sexes is not obfuscated but celebrated, where our inequalities are seen as essential to the image of God, for it is in male and female, in male as male and female as female, not as two identical and interchangeable halves, that the image is manifested.” – 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.”

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
