Happy Monday, everyone! :)

Romans 6:8-13
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over Him. The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
My favorite part of these verses is "the life He lives, He lives to God." And this is the life I am called to live!! A life with "every part" of me surrendered to God--where my heart, mind, body, all I am and all I "own" are completely His! Somehow the thought of such a life is both exciting and overwhelming...but then this life is only possible by the Holy Spirit; my one responsibility is simply to give myself away to Him; the rest is up to Him!

Father, I give You my life--all that is "me" or "mine" is Yours! What You do with it is completely up to You.
May the Lord bless you as you live your life to Him!
