The Journey
Romans 12:1-2
Scripture for May 2
What does it mean to surrender your life to God? What does it mean to you personally? What would your life look like if you offered it to God? These are difficult questions for us as human beings. We begin our lives as babies with the sole purpose of getting our needs met. As toddlers we learn the word “mine” and that stays with us for a lifetime. So how do we even begin to surrender our lives to God when we spend so much time finding ways to get our own needs met? We begin with thinking about our relationship with God. Are we looking for what God can do for us? Is it about getting our needs met where God is concerned, what will get out of this relationship? Again, these are very difficult questions for us to answer. But the best way to answer them is to just begin. Just begin to think about how you spend time with God. Is it just you talking to God or do you listen, too? Is your prayer list about what you need and does it include asking God what you can do for God? Again, these are difficult questions and answers but the first thing to help us answer these questions, is to have the courage to begin.
Oh God, I don’t know if I want to surrender my life to You. I don’t know if I want to even look at these kinds of questions. But if You really want me to, show me the way. Amen.
