When I recommitted my life to Christ and surrendered all that I am to Him I wasn't sure where to go next. The journey of surrender was its own path that led to my decision to fully surrender. So then, what comes next after getting to the point that we offer our lives to God? We must live as Jesus lived. We must have a heart like Jesus. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45).
After surrendering I did not know that I needed to live as Jesus lived. I guess I just thought life would look different since my goal was different now. Luckily, because God is a powerful God, He used my struggles and challenges to completely break my heart. He did not simply restore the heart I had, but shattered it so that He had to rebuild it. He built my heart with His love and His grace and gave me a heart to serve. What better gift could I have received from my Creator? Just as His son came to serve, I am called to go and serve. I was saved by our mighty God so that I could go and serve His people, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. How are you living as Jesus lived?
