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. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:38-39 The beautiful exchange. You paid the debt that we owed and now we are free. Father, the creator who designed me, knows me best. Of course, I want to know Him more because He knows the end from the beginning. I have been designed for a purpose and He wants to show me. My life is yours. I am a new creation. Renew every part of me. Worship is a lifestyle. I want to worship You with my life. I will carry my cross daily because You are worth the sacrifice! I am in the world not of it. Jesus came to save the world, continue that through me. Hope is not lost. Lord, use me! ACTION All of us can grow in a lifestyle of worship. Take a step that causes you to live in a place of deeper surrender today. Sacrifice something for Him today. PRAYER Oh Lord, here I am. Take me. I surrender my whole life and my whole heart to You. Create in me a clean heart and sound mind. Help me to be focused on Your will in my life. Demolish any distractions, idols, or lies that are holding me back from You. I want to live in a lifestyle of worship. Obliterate the fear of man and any fear that keeps me away from Your perfect love. Thank you for never leaving me. Even though what I have to give does not come close to what You deserve, I give it anyway because You are worthy of my life.
