Give it all

"The Holy Spirit longs to reveal to you the deeper things of God.He longs to work through you. He longs to love through you. Through the blessed Holy Spirit you may have:strength for every duty, wisdom for every problem, comfort in every sorrow, joy in His overflowing service." T. J. Bach
The Lord Jesus wants us to turn our whole life over to Him, not just part of it. We can't expect to have the blessings of Christ if we give Christ anything less than everything. Our youth at church gave us an example of getting rid of the things in your life that were keeping you from God. We would throw a rock in the bucket of water to symbolize throwing away that barrier that was in our lives between us and God. The problem with most of us today is we try to get the rock back out of the bucket to many times because we throw it in the shallow bucket called self. Throw your rock into the living waters of Christ today and you will be rid of it forever.

IN TIME

Lettuces, radishes, and such like garden crops, are soon out of the ground and ready for the table, a month almost suffices to perfect them; but an oak requires long centuries to come to the fulness of its growth. Those graces which are most precious and durable will cost us longest to produce; those good things which spring up hastily may have some transient worth about them, but we cannot look for permanence and value in them. There is no need to deplore the slowness of our spiritual growth, if that which comes of it be of a solid character. Charles Spurgeon

In todays time we want everything right now. We think that God has forgotten us sometimes and we think we know when things should happen. As we all know it doesn't work that way. Go to God in prayer every day and ask Him to give you patience and understanding in all that you do.
