Steve,

             You had written:

“The desire to be the Bride of Christ comes with a price. Complete and utter surrender and death to everything that I thought was important.”

How do I know for sure that I’m not still 99% surrendered, but rather 100.00% surrendered?

Everyday I’m convicted about something that I’m doing wrong or thinking wrong.

So, clearly I’m not yet 100.00% surrendered, as every day, I find something that I had not surrendered.

Clearly my surrender is not yet complete.

What do you recommend for those of us that are not quite there yet, or even quite a ways off, still?

It is very frightening, then, to know that one is still not completely and utterly surrendered.

If we were to hear the trump now, how many of us would not be 100.00% surrendered?

Would it be half of us, like 5 out 10 virgins?

Or would it be many of us, like Matthew 7:21-23?
