I loved the ending where you mentioned the body parts, and it made me think of how we are also compared to body parts as a church, Jesus being the head.

I've known for weeks that today's post would be about understanding that we are not blemished sacrifices. When I saw the other "God Wants Your Body" post, I decided to bring in some of the same thoughts here.<br /><br />I don't think we'll stop wrestling off the altar, being completely dead to self and alive in Christ, before the day we see His face. We nonetheless persevere for the goal He has set before us.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-71807658943575261302011-02-23T12:56:54.093-05:002011-02-23T12:56:54.093-05:00...now this was/is a tough one to weigh in on as y......now this was/is a tough one to weigh in on as you very well know,sis:) having a bit of controversy with our Father about it too.unnamed ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147841736324054200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-66264196721618237052011-02-22T23:14:25.001-05:002011-02-22T23:14:25.001-05:00Tana ~

And <i>that</i> image makes me think of the verse in Psalms which says He wraps Himself in Light, as with a garment. I wonder how little difference there is between bearing His light and bearing His love.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-41506474234210456332011-02-22T15:45:03.130-05:002011-02-22T15:45:03.130-05:00We can never make ourselves worthy.
