Unreserved Obedience

There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half.  They will give up possessions, friends, and honors, but it touches them too closely to disown themselves.  It is just this astonishing life which is willing to follow Him the other half, sincerely to disown himself, this life which intends complete obedience, without any reservations, that I would propose to you in all humility, in all boldness, in all seriousness.  I mean this literally, utterly, completely, and I mean it for you and for me - commit your lives in unreserved obedience to Him.

A Testament Of Devotion, Thomas Kelly
