God wants my whole heart. God doesn't want half of it. God pressed on my heart today to really look at my life. Am I really giving Him all of me? Is what I am watching on TV and how much I am watching it really pleasing Him? Is the way I treat my children and husband when I am tired or frustrated pleasing Him? Is the way I respond to something I don't like pleasing Him? Is the way I treat every stranger I come in contact with throughout the day pleasing Him? Is the way I am being an ambassador for His kingdom pleasing Him? Is the way I spend my time and money pleasing Him? Am I in this all the way or do I still have one foot in the door? Jesus, I want to be in it with my whole heart, but I love being comfortable in this life. Jesus, show me how to die to self and live for you. John 12:24-26, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world, will keep it to life eternal. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him." Jesus, I don't know anything about sacrifice. I don't know anything about following you with ALL my heart. Jesus, teach me. Jesus, sustain me. I want to start now. I want to finish well. I love you Jesus. You are God. Show me how to be a faithful follower with all my life.
