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 spirits, 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 oneself truly means. In his letter to the Galatians, he spoke of who he became once he had accepted Jesus as his savior, his Christ.
