Is your desire for more of Him and less of you?
Are you giving more and more pieces and parts of your life to Him?
What I'm getting at is....
Are you in a relationship......or not?
I think sometimes we know the right things, say the right things and maybe even do the right things but is that all? Is that all there is too it....NO, most definitely not.
You need to be desiring more from God and pressing into Him. Giving everything that you have and all that you are over to Him. Desiring His will for your life above everything else and pursuing....always pursuing. He needs to be first in all things.
He has so much to give, to teach and we just need to ask. It's not enough to know the Bible, go to church and live a good life, you need more and God wants more.
Start now if you haven't and keep going if you have.....ask for more.
More Love, Joy, Peace,Patience, Wisdom, Strength, Discernment.....keep asking and keep pushing into Him. Go deeper, be bolder.
Absolutely every single part of you needs to be fully surrendered to God. Your future, your past, your family, your friends, your talents, your gifts.....everything. And it starts with something small....say, your day. Just giving your day to God but don't stop there.....keep taking those small steps and it becomes easier and easier to trust God with the bigger things....say, your family. It's time to put aside the old, the broken and the worn out and let the Perfect One take over. Little by little, bit by bit until your life is not your own. You were created for a reason and for a relationship with God your Heavenly Father. Let Him guide, direct and be the center of all.
A few more verses for you guys to mull over ;)
Gal 2:20....I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Col 3-1-4....If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Prov 3:1-6....My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding
John 15:5....I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
