I Give Myself Away

"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life-and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." ~ Romans 12:1 (The Message)

Dear Most Forgiving Father,

How I thank you for another day that you have allowed me another opportunity to build upon the foundation that you have laid for me. I have a chance to progress in this spiritual blue print that you have constructed for my life. I thank you so much for the people that you have placed in my circle who caress my hurts, chastise my hedonism, and counsel my spiritual health. I am eternally grateful for my husband, whom I have known for almost half of my life and who shows me a reflection of who I am. Our journey to Oneness is an incredible quest, that teaches us who You are in our marriage and how to honor You and each other! I am so thankful for the two beings that share my DNA and remind me to make decisions based on their futures. God, when I look around and I see that things could be far worse, I have to release my thoughts from dissatisfaction and dwell upon the greatness of Your power! Today, You gave me a song that I've heard and never really paid much attention to, but it's a song that fills my Spirit as you remind me to give myself away, so that You can use me! I appreciate your gentleness and your sweet memos of song that coerce me into a climate of calmness. At this moment, I give myself whole heartedly to you, so that I may be empowered and endorsed with Your blessings! My sould cries out for you to make me whole again! In Jesus' Name.

Love,

Your Girl,

Amen
