You are a living sacrifice to God

Romans 12:1-2New Living Translation (NLT)

A Living Sacrifice to God

"And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

Our bodies are not our own - they are God's, and we get to borrow them here on Earth.  Therefore, whatever habits, hang ups, hurts, pains, fears, addictions, and unhealthy ideas you have about your body, mind, and soul, know that they are NOT from God - they are from the world.  It is time we stop listening to the world and start listening, learning, and accepting God's will and words for our lives.  

Therefore, today is a new day in Christ.  You are a fresh, new creation.  Today is the day to commit your life to God, and give him all of you, inside and out.  Let him remove the worldly thoughts, actions, and emotions and fill you with his love and nature.  

My friends, it is time to end the negative cycles of our lives and today is the day to finally do it.  You are perfect in Christ, and it is time to stop wasting your time on trying to change his perfection by trying to be something, or look a certain way, or act a certain way, that you have not been created for.  Today is your day, from God, for you - no-one else!.  

Live it.  

Dream it.  

Pray over it. 

Love it.  

Embrace it. 

Most of all, get on with it.
