Footprints for Pilgrims - 350

 
We may point out briefly the characteristics of the consecrated saint. First and foremost, he has no will. Like the apostle, he says: Not I, but Christ liveth in me. Crucified with Christ, the will, connected as it is with the old man, is gone before God.... The will of Christ is our only law, and we are His, for His sole and absolute use. Then, also, the consecrated believer seeks only the exaltation of Christ.... Self disappears from his view, and the glory of Christ fills his soul.
