Romans 12: 1 reads: "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." As you walk thuis life, you will encounter pain. Being a Christian will not stop you from the trials of life, e.g., loss of a loved one or financial setbacks, as the rain falls on the just and unjust. Spiritually, we lose temporal pleasures when we abandon sinful activities. We may have to struggle to establish new patterns of living. But becoming a living sacrifice (that is, giving our lives totally to God) does not mean endless martyrdom. We can find fulfillment and satisfaction in becoming what God created us to be, no matter what the cost. We will see a higher purpose in life than simply avoiding pain. This is an act that should be performed daily. Make it a daily practice to present yourself as a "living sacrifice" to your Lord Jesus Christ.
