A Very warm welcome to You today, from Pastor Grace!
Fact 4
The facts of which we are told in the Bible are like stepping-stones across a brook.
Here are a few facts we've covered so far:
It is a fact that God receives what we give, and as soon as we give it. There is no long interval.
When we let go, He receives.
When we place ourselves on His altar, we are immediately sealed as His.
When we consecrate ourselves, He accepts. The divine act is instantaneous.
You may not be aware of this, and continue giving yourself to Him day after day.
If you do, you burden yourself with needless anxiety; you continue offering what is not now yours to give, and you lose the blessedness of realizing what it is to be the absolute property of the blessed Master.
But your mistake cannot alter the fact that God took you at your word when first you made yourself over to Him in a solemn act of dedication.
"Shall our want of faith make of none effect the faithfullness of God?"
Father,
thank You for the privilege of handing my whole self and life over to You.
Thank You for receiving me,
in Jesus' mighty name,
Amen.
