The Beauty of Surrender

These two quotes were emailed to me just now by a good friend:

"When He asks for and receives our all, He gives in return that which
is above price--His own presence. The price is not great when
compared with what He gives in return; it is our blindness and our
unwillingness to yield that make it seem great." Rosalind Goforth

"I had utterly abandoned myself to Him...Could any choice be as
wonderful as His will? Could any place be safer than the center of His
will? Did He not assure me by His very presence that His thoughts
toward us are good, and not evil? Death to my own plans and desires
was almost deliriously delightful. Everything was laid at His
nail-scarred feet, life or death, health or illness, appreciation by
others or misunderstanding, sucess or failure as measured by human
standards. Only He Himself mattered." V. Raymond Edman

What could possibly be sweeter than a walk with Christ?
