You are called to be His

It's all His, every breath, moment, every step you take, every move you make... it's all His. That is something that sounds normal, we know we are to be completely His but stop for just a second and think about what that means. Think over every single one of your breaths, moments, steps, thoughts and actions. If some one was watching you would they be able to see by the way you live that all these things you do are in fact dedicated and wholly His?

We've all heard that Christ is to live in us or that all the good in us is actually Him in us. But think about what it means that He actually dwells in you, the God of everything, who created everything we can see, feel or imagine, this one and only God dwells within You. This is in sane, this thought should completely blow you away in awe and wonder, We cannot even understand what this means. But take it lets take it even further. So the God above all is dwelling within you...now think about yourself, your failings, sins, every wicked, hateful or dirty thought all of this also dwells within us. How can this amazing God dwell in us when we are so polluted, stained, and dirty. The bible explains it in Isaiah 64:6 as our righteous deeds being nothing more then filthy rags. But in all of this dirt, filthy gross garbage bin we want the God of heaven and earth to dwell and reign.

Our lives will until the Lord returns be always stained with sin, but we can not be content or okay with this. We cannot except life as it is in a garbage can, we cannot expect the King of the universe to live in our filthy hearts with which we are content with.

Our lives are to turn from the filthy rags, they are to be washed in His blood and our garbage bin is to be transformed into a glistering temple of God.

You are called to be His, to be full of Him, to learn from Him, and to remain with Him. Let His grace clean you, let His blood wash you, let His love amaze you and let your life be completely changed through Him.

 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:8-14
