Total Commitment

This was written in our church bulletin a couple years ago and I ripped it out and stuck it in my bible. Every time I flip to it, it is a great blessing and encouragement to my soul! Would to God that I could be more like Him!

I want to be totally committed to Christ. I want to totally lose my life to Christ and in Christ, so that I can truthfully say with the Apostle Paul, "For me to live is Christ." I want to be totally committed to Christ as He was to the Father, so that my heart says to Him in all things, "Not my will, Thy will be done." It is my continual prayer that God will give me a heart --

Committed to the Lord Jesus Christ,
Committed to His will,
Committed to His gospel,
Committed to His people,
Committed to the cause of His glory in this world.
