The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing
A.W. Tozer has a chapter in his book, The Pursuit of God, called "The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing". In this chapter, Tozer discusses Abraham's journey through the process of the Lord asking him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. There is a paragraph in this chapter that I love:
" We are often hindered from giving up our treasures to the Lord out of fear for their safery. This is especially true when those treasures are loved relatives and friends. But we need have no such fears. Our Lord came not to destroy but to save. Everything is safe which we commit to Him , and nothing is really safe which is not so committed."
