If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.

It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action.

Image
Father, take my life, yea, my blood if Thou wilt, and consume it with Thine enveloping fire. I would not save it, for it is not mine to save. Have it Lord, have it all. Pour out my life as an oblation for the world. Blood is only of value as it flows before Thine altar

God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!

Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.

Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
