True dedication to The Lord is giving Him your body, your mind, and your will.
The body of the Christian is God's temple because the Spirit of God dwells within. Every day is a worship experience when you yield your body to God.
He makes you spiritually minded as you study His Word and make it a part of your daily life.
Each day we must surrender our will to God through prayer to grow closer to Him. "Not my will, but Thine be done."
We have a right relationship with God when we start the day, yielding to him our bodies, our minds, and our will.
Romans 12:1,2 I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
I'm amazed at the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus, willing to lay aside His heavenly glory to come to the lowly estate of man---to become our sacrifice for sin. I'm amazed at the miracles He performed while here.
Mark 6:56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the streets and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
There are none that have gone so far that Jesus can't touch them. If you've never trusted Him to be your Savior, reach out and touch Him for salvation.
If you're sick, reach out and touch Him for healing.
If you're depressed or perplexed, reach out and touch Him by faith and may His grace and peace be with you.
Much of the time life is like going through the airport steering a loaded luggage cart with one bad wheel. Sometimes you just feel ridiculous; sometimes you actually look ridiculous, and sometimes all you can do is just try to push it in generally the right direction.

Life is hard, but God is good. Our lives are either grounded in human understanding or in heavenly understanding.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Are you living a life based on the Word and will of God or do you go your own way, do your own thing, and never think about God? Does it matter? Absolutely!
Matthew 11:28,30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you reat . . . . For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
The undeserved love and favor of God toward fallen man is awesome. It means that any sinner can be saved and any situation can be faced.
Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world, looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Grace redeems us from sin and teaches us how to live, avoiding ungodliness and worldly lusts.
Living under grace makes us a peculear people, a people for God's own possession.
Living under grace makes us zealous of good works.
Grace gives us a hope that separates us from the world as we look for the glorious coming of Jesus Christ.
When we sing Amazing Grace, we're telling the truth. How sweet the sound.
