Over the past few months my heart has been moving in the Lord. His calling me to come up higher. The stirring within has only increased. I have been speaking to Him about absolute surrender. The Initiator has been the Lord. I am aware the source is of Him and not me.

There has been a strange kind of separation happening from within. It is hard to put it into words. A departure more and more from this world. I believe I am not alone. Heaven seems to be drawing nearer and the earth receding.

Many are feeling the call to lose their life for Christ. But they are afraid because of the enemy taunting them with fearful threats of attacks, and fiery darts of accusations.

I love this quote from an old saint now home with the Lord:

"What are you afraid of? Of leaving that which will soon leave you? What are you afraid of? Of following too much goodness, finding a too-loving God, of being drawn by an attraction that is stronger than self or the charms of this poor world? What are you afraid of? Of becoming too humble, too detached, too pure, too true, too reasonable, too grateful to your Father who is in heaven?

I implore you, be afraid of nothing so much as of this false fear - this foolish, worldly wisdom that hesitates between God and self, between vice and virtue, between gratitude and ingratitude, between life and death."

Do not be afraid. Answer the call. Take up your cross, and like the disciples, they forsook all and followed Jesus Christ. They never looked back and neither will you.

Only the best will happen to you and for you when you enter into absolute surrender. He will take care of you and your children.

“God nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having--viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bonds that hinder the life...”
