During my time of devotion today I read Oswald Chambers. He wrote of giving ourselves to Jesus Christ and what that means. It is a surrender of not just our bodies, but our sinful lives and all we are. As I contemplated the relief that comes from this conversion, I also thought of the pain that the process brings, because as the new person is born, the old must die. The apostle Paul understood what yielding ourselves truly meant. In his letter to the Galatians he spoke of being crucified, of Jesus living in him, and of who he became after his acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
