"One does not surrender a life in an instant--that which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime...Maturity is the accomplishment of years, and I can only surrender to the will of God as I know what that will is. This may take years to know, hence the fullness of the Spirit is not instantaneous but progressive as I attain fullness of the Word which reveals the will."

-Jim Elliot 

"There is no ongoing spiritual life without this process of letting go. At the precise point where we refuse, growth stops. If we hold tightly to anything given to us, unwilling to let it go when the time comes to let it go or unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used, we stunt the growth of the soul. It is easy to make a mistake here, "If God gave it to me," we say, " its mine. I can do what I want with it." No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of --if we want to find our true selves, if we want real life, if our hearts are set on glory."

-Elisabeth Elliot

Perfect Jesus

"Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" John 10:21

Throughout history, people protested against the idea of Christianity. They ridiculed and disagreed with Christianity in so many areas. However, no matter how they try to prove the existence of Jesus and the reality of Jesus being wrong, they just couldn't. Though logic tried to analyze and examine Jesus to prove it false, no one can ever prove that it is false. Because He is TRUE. He is perfect. No one can find fault in Him. He is all perfect. He is flawless.

When I think and read about that, I am humbled and I feel the honor of serving and following the One PERFECT God. I am grateful that His mercy brought me to Him, to follow Him and serve Him and not any other things and gods in this world. It is His mercy, not my own doing. It is His grace and love, not mine. What a GOD! What a Savior!

All Christians should be grateful that God calls us to follow Him. We can never go wrong with Him. It may be difficult but it is the way without regret.

God bless you all!
