“Let us never forget that the truth of “the blessedness of possessing nothing,” and all such truths, cannot be learned by rote as one would learn the facts of physical science. They must be experienced before we can really know them…If we would indeed know God in growing intimacy, we must go this way of renunciation. And if we are set upon the pursuit of God He will sooner or later bring us to this test.”
A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) in The Pursuit of God, (Camp Hill, PA: Christian Publications, 1982) 20-21.
