"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

life offering

I love the Life Journal's verses from Romans 12:1 today. Here's what the Message translation says:
So here's what I want you to do: Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life-and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

I love how we are supposed to take even the "mundane" and "ordinary" experiences of our life (sleeping, eating, going to work and walking around life) and use it as an offering before God.

I love knowing he cares about all aspects of our lives, even the things we don't always give him credit for or think he'd care about.

I love knowing that he cares about what we care about-he is our creator, after all.

And I love how we can ask him for help in giving those "ordinary" things to him each and every day.
