“We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus,” said Tozer. And yet there are always those who become uncomfortable when someone unashamedly proclaims his or her devotion to the Savior.

No doubt there were some who believed that Paul was being overzealous when he said, “I’m not there yet, nor have I become perfect; but I am charging on to gain anything and everything the Anointed One, Jesus, has in store for me—and nothing will stand in my way because He has grabbed me and won’t let me go” (Phil. 3:12, VOICE).

Can you relate to Paul’s words? Do you sometimes feel nearly obsessed with God, His purposes, and His Word? Consider yourself among the most blessed people on earth!

For a Christian to give Jesus anything less than the wholehearted devotion He merits will always result in discontent—everything from being out of sorts to deep depression. It’s impossible to “overdo it” in our dedication to Him. He has “grabbed [us] and won’t let [us] go,” and the best thing we can do is to grab Him and refuse to let Him go.

Today, if you’re hesitant about allowing the Lord to be your everything, ask yourself this: Does He deserve any less? Do you have something higher to think on or more worthy to spend your time and energies on? No? Then happily carry on.
