• “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Take My Life by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 09/15/11

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: More than a century ago Frances Ridley Havergal wrote a hymn that helps us understand what it means to be surrendered to Christ.

“Take my life and let it be; consecrated, Lord, to Thee.”

Nancy: Have you made an unconditional, lifetime surrender of your life to Christ?

“Take my moments and my days . . .”

Nancy: Are you living each day in the light of eternity?

“Take my will and make it Thine . . .”

Nancy: Are you stubborn? Demanding?

“Take myself and I will be; ever, only all for Thee.”

Nancy: Have you surrendered all that you are and all that you have to God?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

  • “O beloved friends, there is a life on wings. I feel the streams of His life fill me and permeate my mortal frame from my head to my feet, until no words are adequate to describe it. I can only make a few bungling attempts to tell you what it is like and ask the Lord to reveal to you the rest. May He reveal to you your inheritance in Christ Jesus so that you will press on and get all that He has for you.” – Carrie Judd Montgomery
