No Matter What I May Lose, I Choose...

A few days ago, a young lady in our local church who loves the Lord with all of her heart sent me this as her "verse for the day":

 

The crucible is for refining silver and the smelter for gold,
but the One Who purifies hearts by fire is the Lord.

-- Proverbs 17:3 (GWT)

After reading the verse this classic song by Steve Green came immediately to my mind. It was a theme song of sorts for me personally back in 1987 as I willingly surrendered my all to my Almighty God:

No matter what I may lose, I choose... the Refiner's fire.

John Wesley's Good Friday Message In 1790

John Wesley wrote this in his journal about the place he preached and the passage he preached on Good Friday in 1790:

"I preached in a new House that would in nowise (couldn't possibly) contain the congregation; but I preached to as many as it would contain on 1 Corinthians 6:19."

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own... (NIV)

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself... (NLT)

Lord, on this day, we remember that You surely surrendered Your all for all of us. Yes, You gave up everything for everyone who would look to You and live forever. Lord, I am not my own. I belong to You, Christ. Let The Holy Spirit indwell my body, Your temple, today and tomorrow, and for forever. Amen.
