Giving yourself to God is kinda like trying to fall asleep. We all want to do it, sometimes we just don't know how to. One time I was sitting between my parents in the truck listening to country music. I remember being really tired that day and wanting to fall asleep. I put my head back and snuggled into my mom. Right when I was about to fall asleep, one of my favorite songs came on the radio. I remember being in and out of sleep trying to get rest but listen to my favorite song at the same time, but it obviously wasn't working very well. I then realized that's kind of how I was treating my relationship with God. I would go all the way as long as there wasn't something I would rather be doing. I feel like alot of people do that, especially teenagers. I've realized the only way to be with God is to give him your WHOLE heart, not just whats left over after your family, friends, and food take up parts. I'm not trying to preach, this is more to myself than anyone else, but I sure know I need to figure out how to stop compartmentalizing (did I just make that word up?) my heart and give it all to God.
Jeremiah 24:7
I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.
Love,
Callie Beth
