Volunteer Slaves by Elisabeth Elliot

"Slave" is not a word most of us nowadays feel comfortable with. It is significant that most modern Bible translations use "servant" instead. For a slave is not his own, has no rights whatsoever, is not in charge of what happens to him, makes no choices about what he will do or how he is to serve, is not recognized, appreciated, thanked or even (except by his absence) noticed at all.
Once we give up our slavery to the world, which is a cruel master indeed, to become Christ's bondslave, we live out our servitude to Him by glad service to others. This volunteer slavery cannot be taken advantage of--we have chosen to surrender everything for love. It is a wholly different thing from forced labor. It is in fact the purest joy when it is most unobserved, most unself-conscious, most simple, most freely offered.
Lord, break the chains that hold me to myself; free me to be your happy slave--that is, to be the happy foot-washer of anyone today who needs his feet washed, his supper cooked, his faults overlooked, his work commended, his failure forgiven, his griefs consoled, or his button sewed on. Let me not imagine that my love for You is very great if I am unwilling to do for a human being something very small.

I want to know Him more

OK-so I am listening to Louie Giglio preach and I am trying to type at the same time. WOW-I really do want to know Christ. And know Him more than I want anythig else. That is what Louie is talking about and that is what I want my life to add up to Him. How do I do that? What does it look like? I know if I beg He will show me. Like Louie is talking about I want to be one of those people who when I die people say "she knew God". I will have to say God has put me in a position where I am having to wait to find out if there is goign to be a birth of a dream or the death of it. But the coolest thng is that wether God says yes or no, He is showing me that He IS enough. WOW, this is good stuff. He really does satisfy. I am not sure where you are at-you know Christ personally or you don't know Him at all. I hope that either way when you are dying you want people to say "he/she knew God".

Well this is my first blog, I am not sure if any of it made sense, but does it need to?
