Make no
conditions or stipulations about failure, but cast yourself upon, abandon
yourself to this Christ who lived that life of utter surrender to God that
He might prepare a new nature which He could impart to you and in which He
might make you like Himself. Then you will be in the path by which He can
lead you on to blessed experience and possession of what He can do for you.
Christ Jesus came into the world with a commandment from the Father that He
should lay down His life, and He lived with that one thought in His bosom
His whole life long. And the one thought that ought to be in the heart
of every believer is this: "I am in the death with Christ; absolutely,
unchangeably given up to wait upon God, that God may work out His purpose
and glory in me from moment to moment." Few attain the victory and the
enjoyment and the full experience at once. But this you can do: Take the
right attitude and as you look to Jesus and what He was, say: "Father, Thou
hast made me a partaker of the divine nature, a partaker of Christ.
