We have nothing to offer God that is not already His own -C.S. Lewis
So sometimes I get this crazy idea that I am in control of my own life, I think that Jesus should praise me that I would actually be willing to offer my life to serve Him. What a load of dung that is and yes when I do this, I smell as bad as a load of dung. I manage to read through the Word of God and somehow think that even though Jesus is in charge of it all throughout history that somehow I am exempt from this and that I am special (and yes I am special in some other ways).
So instead of thinking that I am great when I actually somewhat live for the glory of God that I am great and doing something awesome, I should realize that when I manage to somewhat do it that I am just being obedient and not stealing from Jesus.
To me this is a crazy concept that I can only grasp that in light of what Jesus did on the cross in dying for my sins, in my place. When I start to think that it is my hard work I get proud and it is a never-ending cycle that is more confusing than the show Lost.
