Has God's Word ever come to you, pointing out an area of your life, asking you to yield it to Him?
Maybe He has pointed out certain personal qualities, desires, interests, or possibly relationships of your heart and mind.
Rid yourself before God of everything that might be considered a possession until you are a mere conscious human being standing before Him...and then give God that.
That is where the battle is truly fought--in the realm of your will before God.
Beware of allowing anything to soften the hard words of Jesus Christ.
-O. Chambers
"My utmost for His highest", sometimes its a tough read. That's when it usually means the most. Thanks for posting that. I have a leather bound copy that I haven't opened in years. Maybe its time to blow off the dust? Truth without Love is brutality, Love without truth is sentimentality. But The Truth of Gods Word is the perfect balance of love and truth. I think no one can articulate that any better than O.C.

I think it's such a key devotional in this day and age where every "hard word" is claimed to NOT be from Jesus. I am with you: no one seems to find that balance for love and holiness like O.C... Thanks, Steve!
