June 5 ENTIRELY READY?

"This is the Step that separates the men from the boys
" . . . the difference between "the boys and the men" is
the difference between striving for a self-determined
objective and for the perfect objective which is of God. . . .
It is suggested that we ought to become entirely willing to
aim toward perfection. . . . The moment we say, "No,
never!" our minds close against the grace of God. . . . This
is the exact point at which we abandon limited objectives,
and move toward God's will for us

Am I entirely ready to have God remove these defects of
character? Do I know at long last that I cannot save myself?
I have come to believe that I cannot. If I am unable, if my
best intentions go wrong, if my desires are selfishly
motivated and if my knowledge and will are limited—then
I am ready to embrace God's will for my life.
