This is a quote from Tuesday's My Utmost for His Highest.  (Sorry for the odd layout.  I just did a cut-and-paste from my email account.)

--------------------

How are we going to get the
life that has no lust, no self-interest, no sensitiveness to pokes,
the love that is not provoked, that thinketh no evil, that is always
kind?

The only way is by allowing not a bit of the old life to be
left; but only simple perfect trust in God, such trust that we no
longer want God's blessings, but only want Himself. Have we come to
the place where God can withdraw His blessings and it does not affect
our trust in Him?  (bold, italics and underline - mine)

--------------------

Wow!   How many of us are there yet?  (My hand is trying to go up.)

"...Oh, for grace to trust Him more."
