Obedience to Christ requires service in His name.
When Christ came into my life, I began to experience a wonderful peace in my heart. I had a sinful heart; but when I called on Christ, He cleansed it.
Soon came a day when I realized God’s will for me was that I should surrender myself wholly to Him in service.
To lay everything upon the altar of God was not easy. I had my cherished hopes. I considered them as dear as life itself. The struggle was great. I had the choice of obeying God’s will or departing from Him.
While I was on my knees, God won the victory.
I went through hard trials and trying experiences yet God had a better plan for me than my own.
My life is in His control. He is using it in a much better way than I could have ever used it myself for my own selfish purposes.
Prayer suggestion
▪︎ Ask God to help you to realize that His holy will for you is that you should be holy, spirit-filled, and to be dedicated children of God.
▪︎ Ask God to prepare you to offer yourselves as living sacrifices to Him.
