Sever Any Ties

As a young man, David Livingstone prayed...
"Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. Sever any ties but the tie that binds me to your service and to your heart."
That prayer became his watchword when God laid Africa on his heart. I think of that remarkable line: "Sever any ties but the tie that binds me to your service and to your heart." What a mission statement for life! To be bound to God's service and to his heart!

God, I ask that you set that purpose before me...Amen
