What a wonderful way to understand our faith
Christ’s call to us, “Give me all”
our wills, our bodies, our beings
to walk where he would lead
to go where he would say
to turn our troubles over,
all of our cares, our needs
to let go of control,
where we have none to start with
to give all of ourselves
to Christ, able then,
to walk with God

Alive Now devotional for September 13, 2008
“The Christian way is different: harder, and easier. Christ says, “Give me all. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want you.... Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours.” Both harder and easier than what we are all trying to do.” C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
