Christianity Quotes
-

When you come back to God for pardon and salvation, come with all you have to lay all at his feet. Come with your body, to offer it as a living sacrifice upon His altar.

Come, bring them all along-everything, body, soul, intellect, imagination, acquirements-all, without reserve.
