Living from God

This is my first blog! Some may find this hard to believe, but it is true. I thought I would start this today based on my desire to live from God for God's purpose. You would be wise in asking the question, "How does one live from God?". In the days ahead, with His help, I hope to share with you what it means and how you too may live from God in your daily walk.

Let's get started with one verse today: Romans 12:1 NLT - And so, dear brothers and sisters, 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.

Giving our bodies to God is an expression of our worship of God. We offer ourselves by simply speaking to God in prayer asking him to use our life today as a living sacrifice for his purposes and good pleasure. Daily I am learning to speak to God - in this simple manner - Lord be my life today, make it a living sacrifice for you and your kingdom work. Day by day, a little at a time, I see my life being transformed by the grace of God so that I am doing his work and his will in various capacities!

Make this simple prayer your one step of faith today and tomorrow and every day. You will see the work of God through Jesus Christ our Lord changing you! He is willing to be your life, your peace, joy, patience, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, love and self-control.
