"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." - John 6:37' Take my life !' We have said it or sung it before the Lord, it may be many times; but if it were only once whispered in His ear with full purpose of heart, should we not believe that He heard it? And if we know that He heard it, should we not believe that He has answered it, and fulfilled this, our heart's desire?
Why should we doubt that He did verily take our lives when we offered them—our bodies when we presented them?"
- Frances Ridley Havergal, author of the hymn, "Take My Life and Let it Be"1
