Consecration SIMPLIFIED

"CONSECRATION is simply the constant recognition of the fact that we are the Lord's and not our own. 
 
He who learns that this is a fact, and lives in the constant living
presence and recognition of it as the great fact, - he is consecrated; and this is consecration. 
 
Neither is this a hard thing to do in itself, nor as the Lord has fixed it. People make it hard for themselves, by thinking it to be something that it is not, and trying to accomplish it is not the Lord's way; and even then they miss it. 
 
And, in truth, going about it in another than the Lord's way, they cannot possibly do anything else than miss it. 
Is it a fact, then, that we are the Lord's? - of course it is; for it is written: "Ye are bought with a price." 1 Cor. 6:20
And the price is, "the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot." 1 Peter 1:19
For He "gave Himself for us." Titus 2:14
 
He has bought you, and paid the highest price the universe can afford. 
Q: Now will you recognize, just now, that this is so? "
