Lay Down Everything at Jesus' Feet

I gave my heart to Jesus when I was three years old. I don't really remember it, but I was in the kitchen, standing on a chair. I think that most of us here are already Christian, those who have believed and reached out to accept God's gift of grace and love. But have we given all to God? Our dreams? Desires? Passion? Weaknesses? Our life? Everything? Too many Christians have just given God their heart and nothing else. And I'll admit, this is something that I am not good at. It is truly surrendering. Lay down everything at the cross of Jesus. Die to yourself and let us pick up our cross and follow Him. God has a desire to use you. I just finished reading Mere Christianity and C.S. Louis says something like, "You can't truly live until you have died." When you give yourself to God, He will transform you.
