Call to Commitment

This past Sunday at church, we had communion. Our pastor usually does a shortened version of a sermon on days we have the Lord's Supper but even though it's short it always speaks volumes to me. And this Sunday was no different. He was preaching on the fact that the "table" is a call to commitment and how it serves as a reminder to us that we should live our lives reflecting Christ in all we do. But the point that really stuck with me was this...Christ held nothing back, He gave ALL. Why then should we give anything less?

So I questioned myself, am I 100% committed to Christ? Do I give him everything in my life? I would like to say that I do but honestly I do not. I try so hard to fix things way too many times on my own. I try to handle situations in life with my own control rather than giving it to God. Some things are very easy to let God have while others seem easier to take care of myself, yet I always end up failing and ultimately hand it over to God in the end.

When I was little, I lost a Mickey Mouse necklace that my grandparents had bought for me on our trip to Disney World. I was devastated and frantically searching but having no luck. My Dad told me to stop and pray that God would help me find it. I remember thinking how silly that was and that God didn't have time to worry about my lost necklace but I tried it and literally two minutes later I found my necklace. I tell this story not to say that every time you ask for God's help you are immediately going to receive it but to show that even when you give God the smallest things in life he cares. So imagine what he could do with the big things!

I am making it my personal goal to give God all of me just as he gave me everything and held nothing back. He deserves nothing less!!
