Reasonable Service

What a privilege for me to be enlisted In the service* of the Supreme Commander and King of kings. Grateful, I yield to Him my all: body, soul, and spirit… By His mercy’s beseeching: gracious, compassionate, faithful gentle… To give my personal offering that’s: voluntary, active, enthusiastic, sacrificial, faith-driven holy, presentable, acceptable, excellent, perfect… Engaging myself in ministries to help others through: divinely-entrusted gifts, talents, abilities, skills, resources, time… With the motives of: thanking the Creator, pleasing the Lord, exalting the Saviour, glorifying God.
*Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. May 13, 2019
