"Lord, I give up all my own purposes and plans, all my own desires and hopes and ambitions, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee, to be Thine forever. I hand over to Thy keeping all my friendships; all my people whom I love are to take a second place in my heart. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Work out Thy whole will in my life, at any cost, now and forever."
--Elizabeth "Betty" Stam
"Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect,
go and sell that thou hast,
and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:
and come and follow me."
Matthew 19:21
