This morning I read in My Utmost for His Highest, "Are you prepared to let God take you into total Oneness w/Himself, paying no more attention to what you call the great things of life? Are you prepared to surrender totally and let go? The true test of adandonment or surrender is in refusing to say, 'Well, what about this?'"
Wow! "Refusing to say, 'Well, what about this?'" I'm not there yet. All week I've been asking God, well, what about this. What about my family, what about my church, what about my friends who don't know Jesus?
And I've been frustrated b/c I feel like I'm abandoning everyone I care about to move to Haiti. But this morning as I read through this devotional, it hit me. What if I'm not abandoning friends, family, and the lost? What if what I'm really abandoning is self?
Just some thoughts on my last day in the States. :)
