What does it mean, practically speaking, to serve God with your whole being? I know I'm not alone in thinking, most of the time, that we can keep certain parts of us...to ourselves. Compartmentalizing is such a natural human response to life. In fact, I have friends who could put my entire life into neat little boxes and bins with a shiny label on the front! I missed the train when it comes to organization, yet I still section off parts of me...sacred...hidden...left unchanged.
How do we,as Christians, open up all of those shiny, neatly stuffed boxes full of whatever we are trying to hide from God, or humanity? The sin, the failure, the fear, the insecurity, whatever the contents of those boxes they need to be emptied...let into the light...confessed to Christ so that we can experience the freedom that He alone can offer. What would it be like if we were totally exposed in Christ, washed clean in His love, with nothing left hidden under lock and key in the filing cabinets of our souls?
True freedom. Undeserved. Graciously given.
When we find freedom in Him, it is then we can serve Him with heart, mind, and Soul...our whole being.

you have a blog?! where did I Miss that? I love blogs! Yippee! I loved this post too. I'm dealing with so much of this right now. Giving God what He already owns... telling Him what he already knows and remembering that HE made me, formed me, fashioned me and gives me sustaining grace that I need daily.
