Since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him. This is the spiritual way for you to worship. -Romans 12:1
Sacrifice is a difficult word to understand. And it is even more difficult to practice. It means giving up what you want for yourself in order to please or help someone else. In your relationship with Me, it means giving up control of your life - let Me show you the way I want you to live. When you sacrifice your own will to Mine, seeking to please Me, that is worship.
I know that you want to be off on a great adventure for Me. But sometimes the greatest adventures are the ones you don't see. While your daily life may seem routine, your spiritual life can be involved in a huge, secret mission - to climb the mountain of trust and find the treasure of My Presence. When you live close to Me, you are offering yourself to Me as a living sacrifice. This pleases Me and helps Me turn your routine days into spiritual adventure of worship.

你的秘密任务
所以弟兄们，我藉着神的怜恤劝你们，将身体献上，当作圣别并讨神喜悦的活祭，这是你们合理的事奉。-罗马书12:1
"牺牲"这个词，难以理解, 更难以实践。它的意思是，为了取悦或帮助别人而放弃自己想要的东西。在你与我之间，这意味着你放弃对自己生活的掌控权 - 让我来告诉你该如何生活。当你将自己的意志牺牲给我的意志，寻求我的喜悦时，这就是敬拜。
我知道你想为我踏上一次伟大的冒险。但有时最伟大的冒险是你看不见的。尽管你的日常生活可能看起来很平凡，但你的属灵生活可以正参与一个巨大的秘密任务 - 爬上信任之山，寻找我的同在。当你离我很近时，你正在将自己献给我，作为活祭。这让我喜悦，有助我将你日常的平凡日子转化为属灵敬拜的冒险。
创世记 2:7
耶和华神用地上的尘土塑造人，将生命之气吹在他鼻孔里，人就成了活的魂。
诗篇 89:15
知道向你欢呼的，那民是有福的；耶和华阿，他们在你的面光中行走。
罗马书 12:2
不要模仿这世代，反要藉着心思的更新而变化，叫你们验证何为神那美好、可喜悦、并纯全的旨意。
