To those who couldn't understand what I meant in my post about my "signing that blank piece of paper" when I became a Christian:
The question for a new Christian is: Are you WILLING to NOT present your plans for your life to God for His signature, not even to be presented with God's plans for your life for your signature, but are you WILLING to SIGN the bottom of a BLANK SHEET of paper, and LET God fill it in with the plans of the coming events of your life, WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING what those events are going to be?
As I said in my post, I signed that paper in the beginning when I gave my life to Christ and I have had to resign it several times since. I'm sure I'm gonna have to repeat that gesture of YIELDNESS again before I die.
"He that saveth his(own plans for his)life shall LOSE it, but he that LOSETH his(own plans for his)life for my sake, the same shall SAVE it."
Love, Carmel
