"When we consecrate ourselves to God, we think we are making a great sacrifice, and doing lots for Him, when really we are only letting go some little, bitsie trinkets we have been grabbing, and when our hands are empty, He fills them full of His treasures."
written by Betty Stam in her college years ... she was martyred - 1934 - in China, along with her husband John, for their faith.
