Turning Our Lives Over to God

It is an easy and simple thing to say, "God, Thy will be done. My life is Thine. I turn it over to Thee. Use me as Thou wilt. Make me an instrument in Thy hands to help someone or touch someone's life

today."
Yes, it is easy to say, and many of us do say those things. Then, once the words have passed our lips, before the feelings can truly settle in our hearts and our uttered words can even gain a response of acknowledgement from the Father, many of us go on about our day, never even giving those pleas another thought.
Then there are those choice few who do indeed magnify those words, aligning their own will with the Father's with everything in them.
Turning our lives over to God is no small thing. It is a very big thing.
But it is the only thing that will gain us that most cherished and coveted blessing of eternal life.
And as usual, we receive far more than we give.
