From the Late Latin\u00a0sanctific\u0101re<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>from Latin\u00a0sanctus<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>holy +\u00a0facere<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>to make<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Oswald Chambers asked this question and followed it with a clarifying statement:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAm I willing to reduce myself simply to \u2018me\u2019 determinedly to strip myself of all my friends think of me, of all I think of myself, and to hand that simple naked self over to God?\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSanctification is not something that Jesus puts into me; it is Himself in me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>Myself only.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

My\u00a0self<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0Jesus<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Everything else- gone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Me?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Me not cluttered with the rest of life?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Me ?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Alone?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Emptied?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To where all you see is Jesus through the transparency of me?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>To be dressed in the clothes of the daughter of The King?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the clothes He chose for me?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dressed as He would dress me?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So when you see me, you see Him in me.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>How do I let go of all of the other stuff inside?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Where You in me have the room- the \u2018space\u2019 to be You\u00a0IN<\/strong>\u00a0me?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today, I only know that\u00a0whatever You call it<\/em>, I do not want some\u00a0thing<\/em>\u00a0in me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I want the\u00a0Some<\/em>\u00a0Who<\/em>\u00a0that is\u00a0You<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>Teach me, Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is a struggle indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is a battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Drag it all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All out of me.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Til there is You – and – me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>Only<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIf you love me, you will obey what I command.\u00a0\u00a0And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever\u2014<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.\u00a0\u00a0Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong>On that day you will realize that I am in my Father,\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>and you are in me, and I am in you.<\/span>\u00a0Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, \u201cBut, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>Jesus replied,\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u201cIf anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>John<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a014:15-24<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
