“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” Romans 12:1

If you really want to know Jesus, you have to give all of yourself to Him. You can’t try to please Him with your talents, works, and sacrifices. They are of no real value to Him until you have offered all of yourself to God.
Then He can begin a holy work transforming you into a temple of God reflecting the qualities of God. The originality of God living in you will create an outpouring of His life touching and influencing others.
In essence, you give up the right to yourself. You give ownership to God and become His follower. The work of God has to start initially within you and deal with your personality, motives, and resistance to letting God have all of you.
Your moral obligation to life is the responsibility of God. He will show you the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. He is your Keeper!
The truth of becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus begins with abandonment to Him. God can’t do His amazing and beautiful work of creation when you stand in the way. If you allow God to have His way with you, He will transform you into a powerful witness for Him.
People will see God in you!
Thought for the day: “I want all of you. Come to Me and I will consecrate you with My Holy Spirit. You will live with Me and be My witness to the world.”
