abandonment to Christ

"The reason some of us are such poor specimens of Christianity is because we have no Almighty Christ. We have Christian attributes and experiences, but there is not abandonment to Jesus Christ. When we get into difficult circumstances, we impoverish His ministry by saying-"Of course He cannot do anything," & we struggle down to the deeps & try to get the water for ourselves. Beware of the satisfactions of sinking back and saying-"It can't be done"; you know it can be done if you look to Jesus. The well of your incompleteness is deep, but make the effort & look away to Him." Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest
