CONSECRATION AND FAITH PLEDGE
CONSECRATION PLEDGE.
Dear
Lord; I present myself unreservedly to Thee.
My
time.
My
talents.
My
tongue.
My
will.
My
property.
My
reputation.
My
entire being.
To
be, and to do, anything that Thou requires of me.
PLEDGE OF FAITH.
Now
as I have given myself away, I am no longer my own, but all the Lord’s.
I
believe Thou dost accept the offering I bring.
I
trust Thee to work in me all the good pleasure of Thy will.
“Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and I will
receive you.”
As I do give myself to Thee, I
believe Thou dost receive me now.
LONGINGS.
BY A.W.P.
“I SHALL be
satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.” – Psa. xvii:15.
While visiting at
the house of a Christian friend last winter, a discussion arose one day at the
dinner table, with regard to the characteristics and peculiarities of a friend
of the family. After several had expressed their opinion of him, one spoke with
an expression of deepest reverence on his face and said, “He makes me think
of Jesus.” The words sank into my heart and I have thought of them
repeatedly since then, always with the feeling that I would rather have those
few simple but expressive words said of me than anything else in this
world. Oh! That the dear Lord would grant me grace so to live that all
who meet me should be constrained to say, “She makes me think of Jesus?”
Oh that I might be so filled with the Holy Spirit, that the very atmosphere
about me might be redolent with the perfume of His presence! He is “the Rose of
Sharon and the Lily of the Valley,” and if filled with Him I must inevitably
fill the lives and hearts of those whom I meet, with heavenly fragrance.
