All His. No Right to Myself

1 Corinthians 6:20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

On January 12, 1723, I made a solemn dedication of myself to God, and wrote it down; giving up myself, and all that I had to God; to be for the future, in no respect, my own; to act as one that had no right to himself, in any respect. And solemnly vowed, to take God for my whole portion and felicity; looking on nothing else, as any part of my happiness, nor acting as if it were; and his law for the constant rule of my obedience: engaging to fight, with all my might, against the world, the flesh, and the devil, to the end of my life.

But I have reason to be infinitely humbled, when I consider, how much I have failed, of answering my obilgation.

- You probably did not realize that I was that old, huh? Now, that you read through that once, I would encourage you to read through it again a little bit slower, taking a minute to think about what is really being said.

Jonathan Edwards was regretful that it took him so long to come to his recognition of this type of spiritual commitment to God. I mean it wasn't until he was 19 years old that he wrote that down.
Just a thought

Romans 12:15

Romans 12:15: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

2 Corinthians 12:9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Our family gets a new chance to see God's grace in our lives as He comforts Sarah and the rest of the family. At about 11 weeks along, we lost the baby that had been growing in Sarah. I appreciate all of your prayers and concern.
