Read Matthew 7:21-23.
We are all willing to do God’s will sometimes and in some things, but until there is a complete dedication of one’s whole self, there cannot be a complete demonstration. “There is no home for the soul in which there dwells the shadow of an untruth,” said George Meredith.
Never is it more true than in the life of the soul that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We must not allow any consideration whatever, any institution, any organization, any book, or any man or woman, to come between us and our direct seeking for God. Centers, churches, schools, all fill a useful purpose in providing the physical framework for the distribution of right knowledge, but the actual work must be done by the individual.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 7:21).
Complete dedication of one’s whole self is a tall order! It does not happen overnight, although a decision to dedicate oneself often is instantaneous. Such a decision must be followed by an eternal commitment to obey God’s will in our lives. It is a process of shedding the old human self and manifesting the new godly self. It is a life long pursuit that will fill one’s life with joy, peace and hope. It also ensures that our eternal lives will be filled with the same.
Ever vigilant,
