Me: This one might take some patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: Yes, but it will be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who might feel reluctant to surrender his will to the will of another should remember Jesus’ words, “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The sinner prides himself on his independence, completely overlooking the fact that he is the weak slave of the sins that rule his members. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle Master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 8:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
