I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. — Romans 12:1

God saved us by going first and giving up what was most important to him. Now he can ask us to give ourselves to him. The only problem is that the poor sacrifice keeps trying to crawl off the altar. Every day, we have to give God our will, our time, our hearts, and our commitment. If not, our sacrifice is gone and the altar is empty.

Prayer

I want to give my life, my body, and my will to you, Holy and Righteous Savior. However, I must admit that there are some minor (and possibly some major) things that I never put on that altar. Things that I don’t want to abandon. I will live for you today to the best of my ability, submitting everything to your Lordship and control. I extend to you my entire self, all that I am and all that I have, to be yours today and forever. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
