MARCH 13- John 3:16- “God so loved the world that He gave”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 

NOT WITHOUT CALCULATION

 

Abandonment includes no calculations.

Abandonment is an offering we give.

Offering a life fully surrendered

Abandonment is a unique way to live.

 

Abandonment is a life on the altar.

Abandonment includes relinquishment of all.

Abandonment removes any false pretense.

Abandonment includes obeying God’s Call.

 

A Call to abandonment is joy filled.

God’s Call invigorates limp, lazy limbs.

Abandonment is freedom’s best offer.

Let’s choose in abandonment to live!

POINTS TO PONDER or JOURNAL: Counting the cost destroys the value of abandonment. Explain. Journal the privileges of abandonment.

Interview someone whom you consider to have abandoned to the Lord. Track their life story. What is or was the secret ingredient of abandonment in this saint? Have you considered complete abandonment to the Lord? Watch the progress. Journal the results.

 

Dear Lord, Thank you for abandoning Yourself into God’s plan of Salvation. Thank you for considering using me in Your Ministry to this world.  Help me to discover the joys of true abandonment in my life and work. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN
