The Bent-Knee TimeNOT THINGS BUT—
It is not things that our God wants. He wants us. And when we yield ourselves in glad obedience to him, his Spirit lives in us and reaches through us; it is himself in us, acting through our wills, who accomplishes what God requires. When he has his way in the life, it means, first, a possession; then, a reshaping. And that makes our mental processes wise and just and kindly, and so all the acts of life.
