And from it what a simple melody and message! I think that's one reason that it is sung so often and remembered so well. What a simple testimony Mrs. Elliot had.

May we have that same kind of love for all those we come in contact with. What a blessing it is to know that Christ takes us just the way we are, what a loving Father we serve!

I was motivated to look up more about Charlotte Elliot on cyberhymnal.org and found out that she became an invalid around age 30 and remained so the rest of her life. But listen to what she wrote: "My Heavenly Father knows, and He alone, what it is, day af­ter day, and hour af­ter hour, to fight against bodily feelings of almost over­pow­er­ing weak­ness and lang­uor and ex­haust­ion, to re­solve, as He en­a­bles me to do, not to yield to the sloth­ful­ness, the de­press­ion, the ir­ri­ta­bil­i­ty, such as a bo­dy caus­es me to long to in­dulge, but to rise ev­ery morn­ing de­term­ined on tak­ing this for my mot­to, 'If any man will come af­ter me, let him de­ny him­self, take up his cross dai­ly, and fol­low me.'"

And none can pluck us out of His hand. To whom much is given, much is required. Thank you Kenan. I really appreciate your post.
