EVERY Christian worker [and that means every Christian] may know, year by year, if he really desires to know, whether the trust committed to him is being kept. How is it with our evil habits? Are we waging relentless war with them? The soul can not work in isolation, but Christ is ready to work for the soul if we will let Him have His way. His victory is a victory that can only come to us through pain. It is only by surrendering ourselves, by suffering His Spirit to fill and drive us, that our consecration can be made perfect. It is only as we enter into His willing mind that the will of God can be done within us, and that means very much more in the way of sacrifice than we yet conceive. One day in which we yield our will to Him is of more value than years of toiling self-will.—Christian Work.
