I Give Myself Away

One of the hardest things to do can be to truly surrender our ways and our thoughts to God. When we read the Bible and hear the message of Jesus, we suddenly realize that the way we think and the way we live our lives are very different from the scriptures. Teachings like "Love your enemies" or "Be kind to those who mistreat you" are the very opposite of how we operate in our daily lives. Often we find ourselves believing that we are our own and that we can do whatever we please because we've been going along our own way for so long. We find ourselves asking questions like "Why should I change?" 

Today, I ask "Why shouldn't you change?" Is the way that you are living, thinking, or acting really what you want? Are you truly experiencing the best that life has to offer? Do you desire more? Do you believe that live can be different? 

If any of these questions resonate with you, then perhaps you have realized that there is more to life than what you have been experiencing. God stands at the door knocking saying gently to us  "I have called you by your name; You are Mine." (Isaiah 43:1)


You are not our own. You belong to God. You are a royal priesthood. You are the Divine....created by the Almighty God. Surrender your ways, your thoughts, your plans, your desires to God. Allow him to give you a new heart and new spirit. Allow God to renew your mind and heart.

You belong to God. Give yourself away so that God can use you. Give yourself away so you can be free.
