What do worship and
sacrifice mean to you? You worship God not because someone else makes you or
because it’s the right thing to e seen doing. You do it because God has given
you abundant life. He totally embraces you as a flawed, hopeless, rejected
mistake-maker. And he offers his presence, beauty and purity to fix places in
you that are empty, dark, broken, damaged, and desperate. This is mercy. In
your shock and outrageous gratitude, you want to do anything God says. By
offering a sacrifice to God, you are showing that you have an attitude and a
willingness to do whatever it takes to obey him. Being a walking sacrifice,
means daily shedding your desires and going after God’s desires. Spend time
with him so you can understand what he’s like and what he wants for your life.
God wants you to look and think like him- and not like the world-because that’s
the best possible way to live. He’ll reshape everything inside you so that you
become more like him, but you have to let him in and give him the control.
Romans 12:1-2
