We make our temperament and our natural desires barriers to coming to Jesus. Yet the first thing we realize when we do come to Jesus is that He pays no attention whatsoever to our natural desires. We have the idea that we can dedicate our gifts to God. However, you cannot dedicate what is not yours. <strong>There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself (see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+12:1\">Romans 12:1<\/a>). If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you\u2014 and His experiments always succeed.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-rule\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-rule\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-rule\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-rule\">The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ. In the life of a saint there is this amazing Well, which is a continual Source of original life. The Spirit of God is a Well of water springing up perpetually fresh. A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus. Never try to make your experience a principle for others, but allow God to be as creative and original with others as He is with you.<\/div>\n<div class=\"top-rule\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"top-rule\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>If you abandon everything to Jesus, and come when He says, \u201cCome,\u201d then He will continue to say, \u201cCome,\u201d through you. You will go out into the world reproducing the echo of Christ\u2019s \u201cCome.\u201d That is the result in every soul who has abandoned all and come to Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>Have I come to Him?
