Define me, Lord

You know...I think I'm in charge of my life.  I think that I can do what I want and I can fix my own problems.  I think that I can become my own person and treat people how I want.  I think that I can read my Bible when I want and I can think about whatever I want to.  And to some extent I can...

I can choose what I want to do, who I want to follow, what I want to think, etc.  But who do I reflect in all of this?  Me.


I treat God like He's an option alongside a bunch of other options.  If I feel like loving others, than I will.  If I feel like reading my Bible, I will.  If I want to devote my time to God, I will.  You know what happens?  A lot of times, I do not feel like doing these things.

Change me, God.  May I find my identity in You and be a living sacrifice for you.

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." Romans 12:1
