ower can do; this is what I faithfully engage to perform; will
you have it?

_I give Myself to thee, O soul._"

To each of those who have come to Him, Christ says, "I give Myself to
thee, to be absolutely and wholly thine every hour of every day; to be
with thee and in thee every moment, to bless thee and sustain thee, and
to give thee each moment the consciousness of My presence; I will be
wholly, wholly, wholly thine."

And now, what is the other side? He wants me to be wholly His. Are you
ready to take this as your motto now,

"_Wholly for God_"?

O God, breathe Thou Thy presence in my heart that Thou mayest shine
forth from my life. "Wholly for God," let this be our motto. Come let us
cast ourselves on our faces before His feet. Our missionary from
Nyassaland says he has often been touched by seeing how the native
Christians, when they are brought to Jesus, do not stand in prayer; they
do not kneel; but they cast themselves upon the earth with their
foreheads to the ground, and there they lie, and with loud voices cry
unto God. I sometimes feel that I wish we could do that ourselves; but
we need not do it literally. Let us do it in spirit, for the everlasting
Son of God has come into our hearts. Are you going to take Him and to
keep Him there, to give Him glory and let Him have His way? Come now
and say, "I will seek Thee with my whole heart; I am wholly Thine."
Yield yourself entirely to Him to have complete possession. He will take
and keep possession. Come now. Jesus delights in the worship of His
Saints. Our whole life can become one continuous act of worship and work
of love and joy, if we only remember and value this, that Jesus has
said, "Lo, I am with you all the days, even unto the end of the world."
