When one is abandoned to the Lord Jesus - not to a "cause" or a "program" But simply to the Lord Himself - then to that individual it matters not whether he be placed in a wheel chair, a hospital bed, a prison cell, in a darkened corner where men never see him, or whether he be set on a pedestal where he may preach Christ to the multitudes! It becomes simply a matter of being a bond slave to the Lord Jesus. Whatever may bring Him the most glory becomes the all consuming passion of his life.

A Lifetime of Surrender
"One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime." ~ Jim Elliot

That is such a great quote. It just speaks of us daily laying down our lives for Christ. Jim Elliot had some great quotes that we don't hear as often.
Such a great quote. Thanks for posting it!
