"My life is not my own, to you I belong, I give myself to
you. I give myself away, so you can use me.”
God made the ultimate sacrifice for our sake, by sending
His Son to die on our behalf. To die. Imagine losing the one thing that is most
precious to you. Imagine losing your child, your mother, your father, your
brother, your sister, for the sake of some one else.
I struggle to comprehend the idea that someone would do
that, for me, a sinner, unworthy of this sacrifice. I use the term sacrifice
very lightly, as Jesus voluntarily bore our sins on the Cross so that we may be
saved from an eternity in hell. Despite the countless times that we have sinned
and wronged God, He finds each one of us worthy of His love, and worthy of His
gift to us. Therefore, personally, I think the LEAST that we can do to show our
gratitude (not that He expects any reward for what He has done for us), is to
give our lives to Him, and completely and utterly surrender to His Will for our
lives. He took the time to formulate a plan and purpose for EACH of our lives
before we were even in our mother’s womb! How awesome is it to know that God
has given each one of us our own, unique destiny??
As His children, He has set
us apart from all of those who belong to the world, so that we may rise above
all the enemies attempts to take control of our lives.
Jesus is our Saviour, who gave His LIFE, so that we may
be saved. There’s no greater love than that.
