Offer Yourself Freely
Offer Yourself Freely
We are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God.
—2 Corinthians 2:15
The Bible says that every morning God’s people brought freewill offerings to Him. They all had various sacrifices such as animals, grains, and cereals (See Exodus 35). God wants us to offer our lives in dedicated service to him.
The Bible says that God is pleased with our sacrifice of praise (See Hebrews 13:15), and that our prayers go up before God as a sweet-smelling sacrifice. He wants us to bring ourselves to Him every morning and say, “God, here I am; I want to be a living sacrifice.”
From the book Starting Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.
