<p>&quot;Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as <em>living </em>sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship.&quot; Romans 12:1<br />
<br />
The ancient sacrifices were killed — but it is a <em>living </em>sacrifice which we are to present. That means that we are to dedicate our bodies to be God's temples — places for God to dwell in. We are to live for God in the very best sense, giving Him all our powers, keeping our lives unspotted and holy for Him, and devoting them to His service in all sweet ways. <br />
<br />
Too many of us give to God only <strong>the broken remnants of tired days</strong> — the fragments that are left over — after we have served our own selfishness with the best. We need to learn to give Christ the best of everything we have.
