At the beginning of a new week, I'm taking this re-paraphrased words from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans (12:1-2) as guide. Let me offer it to you too as an inspiration."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. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.
Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." (by Eugene Paterson, The Message: the Bible in Contemporary Language)
