“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:2 NIV)
If I love God I will give myself completely to Him, surrendering each
person and each thing in my life to His care. I do not need to be afraid to do
this, though, as I would if God were a human being asking me to make this sort
of surrender. God not only asks me to give everything to Him, but He has
already given everything to me, including His own Son; His love and commitment
to me are far greater than I can ever imagine. Loving Him requires me to totally
abandon myself -- but my life is completely safe in His hands.
-- Elizabeth Prentiss in “Selections from Stepping Heavenward”
