Our Sacrifice

Our hardest sacrifices are never so hard as we thought they were going to be, if we go on with them to the uttermost that God asks. A sacrifice of self to God's will made halfway, or even nine-tenths, is a grinding, cruel experience. When it is made the whole way, with the altar built and self laid upon the altar, God always comes with an unexpected blessing that so overwhelms us with love and joy that the hardship of the sacrifice sinks out of sight. - Springs in the Valley (October 9)
