jesus requires all - not someSelf and the Savior can never live in one heart.  He will have all, or none.  So, where self is on the thrones, it cannot be expected that Christ should meekly come and sit upon the footstool.
— C.H. Spurgeon

What a truer statement.  When people come and ask me about why they don’t see Christ in their life, often it is the person sitting in their throne that has control.   Now how to say that and be politically correct is … impossible.
