I think there's a lot of times we talk about a cost, and we talk about a
cost of time, a cost of money, a cost of pleasure, but a cost is always
what we're tempted to offer him that's partial, but there's the cost,
the cost, and I think the cost is the cost that it's always been, that
it's like that man that was on his knees praying for personal growth and
the consecrative power of the Spirit, and he was, for he was there an
hour, and he was saying, Lord, anything, anything, anything, Lord, as if
to offer him a cost, anything. You say this, it'll go. You say this,
it'll go, and the Lord's answer back to that man shocked me.

He said, no, everything, not anything, everything, and I think that when
we, when the Lord mercifully opens our hearts and minds to see that his
will, his glory is everything, only then will we be able to say, Lord,
not just anything, you know, take our buildings, take our comfort, no,
no, no, everything, and then he'll, I think that's the cost.
