Excerpts shared:
-“Christian discipleship is not a glandular condition. God is not in need of our ideas. He’s not in need of our agendas. He doesn’t need for us to sit in our settled condition, dreaming up plans. God sets the program, God establishes the agenda, and God will be glorified in it all.”
-“Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me,
… the changes that are sure to come
I do not fear to see;
… I ask you for a present mind
Intent on pleasing thee.
I would not have the restless will
That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do
Or secret thing to know.[5]
