What God wants

Embracing what God does for you is the best things you can do for him. (Romans 12 TMSG)

Remember yesterday's post about laying our lives out as an offering for God? This is the follow up, at least the first part. IF we are an offering, then we have TOTALLY laid ourselves out at the feet of God for Him to take over. Which means we have to let Him be in charge. So why do we keep wanting to get up and take control?

What does God really want from me? I have been struggling with this lately, and it seems the answer is right here. It is not doing something for Him, that is salvation by works. It is surrender. It is worship. It is the realization that He does not NEED me to do anything for Him, so I just need to LOVE him with all I am.

And it is also the realization that He does not NEED my love. He just wants it, but He is willing to let me choose.
