• “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.”

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.
