This world is not my home anymore.

I know, through experience, about complete surrender. Years ago, when I was a prisoner of Adolf Hitler and his followers, I had to surrender my will completely. During the time I as a prisoner, I could not decide anything myself. I just had to obey. But we have to surrender to someone else - to God, who is love. He is not a dictator; He is a loving Father. There is no limit to what He wi8ll do for us, no end to His blessings, if we surrender to Him. Surrender is trusting God. This is what God asks from us. He gives a deep rest after we surrender.
NOT I, BUT CHRIST
Corrie ten Boom

| | Re: | | Even as the angry vengeful thoughts boiled through me, I saw the sin of them. Jesus Christ had died for this man; was I going to ask for more? Lord Jesus, I prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive him....Jesus, I cannot forgive him. Give me your forgiveness....And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives along with the command, the love itself.

A revival is no more a miracle than a crop of wheat is. In any community, a revival can be secured from Heaven when heroic souls enter into the conflict determined to win or die, or if needs be, to win and die. ~ Charles G. Finney

| | Re: | | We only think we can't understand Christ because of a lack of knowledge, and we only assume another can understand because he knows more than we do!
In Christ there is neither insider nor outsider, there is neither center nor fringe, there is neither status-quo nor non-conformist! There is only the new creation.
