Trouble

"The trouble about many Christians today is that they have an insufficient idea of what

God is asking of them. How glibly they say: `Lord, I am willing for anything.' Do you

know that God is asking of you your very life? There are cherished ideals, strong wills,

precious relationships, much-loved work, that will have to go; so do not give yourself to

God unless you mean it. God will take you seriously, even if you did not mean it

seriously."

-- Watchman Nee, "The Normal Christian Life"
