"The fair new petals must fall, and for no visible reason. No one seems enriched by the stripping. And the first step into the realm of giving is a like surrender - not manward but Godward: an utter yielding of our best. So long as our idea of surrender is limited to renouncing of unlawful things, we have never grasped its true meaning: that is not worthy of the name for "no polluted thing can be offered.The life lost on the Cross was not a sinful one- the treasure poured forth there was God-given, God-blessed treasure, lawful and right to be kept: only that there was the life of the world at stake."

Beautiful. Something to ponder on for the coming days as I deal with some choices. Will post my musings on this soon!
