So I have always been open to saying that my favorite chapter in the Bible is Romans 12.
Romans 12:1 says: Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship.
Lately, I have found myself being a hypocrite to that verse. Have I been truly allowing to live my whole life for Christ? I am surprised I have not even done a blog on this chapter/verse yet.
You see, I do not want to have the "holier than thou" lifestyle. Trust me, I am not holier than...thou...I need to be honest with myself.
Humility. Such a hard thing for me to grasp.
If I am able to accept that I am not giving it all to Christ, I can strive to at least make that my goal now...or my life.
Being a living sacrifice...What does it truly mean to be a living sacrifice? To me, it is not just about throwing out a good Christian Facebook status everyday...it's about spending my whole day living out for God. That could be hard, but I know it will not hurt me if I try.
So...for the next week I plan on living by what I say. I want to be my favorite verse in the Bible. This is my weekly goal, which will hopefully turn out to be my goal for life.
No need to find a goat for this sacrifice...I'm all yours, God :)
