Thank you sister !
Your comments are encouraging indeed. I can see that you not only understand this but are serious about it in your life - hallelujah!
Romans 12:1 is an excellentverse on this subject. God bless and guide you today. @sarikorpi
@DevotionalTreasures Thank you my brother! 😊
That verse became alive for me through being a mother (of five). In the beginning, with the first child, it was hard for me to put my own needs aside as the baby needed to be cared of and breastfed day and night. I just waited the whole day for my husband to come home from work! But as time went and we got more children, I slowly learned to start "dying for myself" and put my own desires aside. I then started to understand what that verse meant about giving your body as a sacrifice to God. I see this same also in marriage, you give yourself to the other. (1 Cor. 7:4).
God bless you!
@DevotionalTreasures Good post! Yes, the altars' to God is now to be built in our hearts! And what are the sacrifices on our altars? Our worship, our life - our living bodies! This is one of my absolute favorite verses in the Bible:
"I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship." (Rom. 12:1)
So this is not just a theological thing to build an altar to God in our hearts and "give our life to Jesus", it means that we practically give our b o d i e s for Him as a living sacrifices, which means everything that I use my body for in my everyday life. ❤
"Make Him central to your every hour, the source of your every breath, and the Light that everyone sees in you each day."
Amen!
