Will you give him your all?

          As we walk in the light do we ever look back to the darkness? As we read the Word of God, do we take it to heart, think upon it, and live it out? Are we plastic people? Do we do one thing and say another? Do we preach from the Book and turn and do something dishonoring? Do we pray for Humility and not try to practice it? Can we truly live as two faced Believers?
         Yes, it is understood that we are going to sin, but look deeper my friends! What is it that flaws the relationship with your Creator? What is it that is slowly pulling you from what you know it right? What is it that calls to you in the quiet? What is destroying the faith that you once knew?
          What is it?
          That thing my friends is what you have to dig out. You have to find, render useless, and throw away. Cast your sin from you, ask Christ to help you fight the battle.
          He wants your whole heart, not half of it! He died all the way. He was whipped, scourged, and placed on the cross. Never once did he cry out in contempt.
          Psalms 53:7 says, "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth."
          We cannot Give our whole heart to Him as he did for us.

         Wrong! 
          Give up that which is drawing you away. Matthew 22:37 And he said to him, "You shall love the lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind."
To be honest, I don't think Jesus said this just to say it. I struggle with this as we all do. I have things that put a wall between me and God. Its time to ask Him to help me break it down and push the rubble away. Will you give Christ your all?

God Bless!
