Our Hands Kept for Jesus.

‘Keep my hands, that they may move

At the impulse of Thy love.’

When the Lord has said to us, ‘Is thine heart right, as My heart is with thy heart?’ the next word seems to be, ‘If it be, give Me thine hand.’

“Now ye have consecrated yourself unto the Lord, come near” (2 Chron. xxiv. 31)

“‘FOR THEE!’ That is the beginning and the end of the whole matter of consecration...Out of the realized ‘for me’ grows the practical ‘for Thee’! If the former is a living root, the latter will be its living fruit...Conse

Havergal's practicality is explicit and highly thought-provoking in a needfully good and precise way. One who thinks that he / she is as close as he/she can get to God should read this; Let Havergal tenderly bring to light the oft overlooked areas of weakness that will henceforth call for prayerful

A commentary on Ms Havergal’s hymn Take My Life. I love the idea of the book, that we should give thought to how we can give ourselves completely and joyfully to God. Sadly the age of the book keeps many of her examples from being relevant. (A whole chapter on choosing Christian songs for the evenin
