Life is all about surrendering to God...there is nothing else so important as that!

Surrendering all things to Him for He is able to handle what we thought we could in our own strength.

I've surrendered everything I can think of tonight; from my thoughts to what I own. Its all His anyway, its just my heart catching up with reality/truth.

Now I can say "Yes, Lord!" to all I read.

Romans 12 has impacted me most...it just covers everything I can think of in life. To say "Yes, Lord!" to all He says is to have real freedom in Christ!

Romans 12:1-21
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
And do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think so as to have sound judgement, as God has dealt to each man a measure of faith.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same function:
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
or he that exhorts, to his exhorting: he that gives, let him do it with liberality; he that leads, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.
In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another,
not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
rejoicing in hope; persevering in tribulation; devote to prayer;
contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but associate with the lowly. Be not wise in your own estimation.
Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.
If it be possible, as far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance belonged unto me; I will repay, says the Lord.
But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
