But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way. Among those who belong to Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and mindlessly responding to what everyone else calls necessities is killed off for good—crucified. (Galatians 5:22-24 MSG)

Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.

—Psalm 56:8 Remember! weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. - Psalm 30:5

Every great life has had in it some great renunciation.

So it is always: real sacrifice, unto complete surrender of self, brings to us the revelation of God in His fullness. O’ how it changes everything for us thereafter from famine to royal abundance!

—L.B. Cowman
