A woman facing a dangerous foreign-mission assignment, when asked if she was afraid to go, replied, "I am afraid of only one thing—that I should become a grain of wheat not willing to die."

Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John 12:24

Thank You, Lord, that when I lose my life for Your sake I find it.

If you make a compromise with surrender, you can remain interested in the abundant life, all the riches of freedom, love, and peace, but it is the same as looking at a display in a shop Window. You look through the window but do not go in and buy. You will not pay the price of surrender.

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John 12:24

Lord, what joy it is to belong to You, to live in the realm of life abundant now, and to know that the best is yet to be. Hallelujah!
