Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer 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.
Read that again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again.
Now, really think about that. Something that seems easier said than done is the "offer yourself as a living sacrifice." Something that is living can walk... can crawl... can move. And that's the scary thing about that verse. I am the sacrifice that can run away. At some points in my day, I'm in this state of glad surrender... Then, at other times, I am running off the alter holding my dreams and plans, clinging to the ways of this world... phewww. more on these verses later.
