Consecration and Service


"God wants us before He wants anything we can do for Him. There is a danger of being consecrated to service for the Lord, rather than to the Lord Himself." ~The Christian Digest, vol. X, No. 3, p. 31, March, 1945.
It's so easy to be caught up in doing, doing, doing for the Lord without thought of what He really wants. And that is communion with Himself. He desires our company every single moment of the day. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Rev. 3:20. But He won't push at the door. We must open to Him.
