A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
I have now come to the place in my quest for victorious living where I see I cannot go on until I make the great decision. I must break down every barrier that stands between me and God. I must withhold no part of the price.
But I see I must go further. Beyond giving up every barrier, I must give up myself. I know that something or other will certainly master me. In the shrine of my heart, I am bound to bend the knee to something. I may bow before myself and take orders from myself. Or I may let sexual passion or money have the final say. Or I may bow before the fear of society.
Or—and this seems to me the best alternative—I can let Christ master me. I have the decision as to who shall have the final say in my life. I deliberately make that decision. There is nothing to be weighed out or measured, nothing the eye can see. But will has been given to Will. It is done. . . You cannot really see Christ till you surrender to Him. Those who stand afar off, surveying Him, never really see His face. So bend the knee. Be conquered by Him.
