What an amazing God I serve!

I feel a bit like rapping a gift in toilette paper as I say that..not that I am attempting to downplay the greatness and glory of God; more so that I can never do justice to His name. I find myself frustrated at times, wanting to let God know I love Him, but feel that I can never do enough. A while back, two friends and I spent some time in a field praising the Lord. We ran with our eyes closed, sang His praises, we marveled at the beautiful night sky and the many different colors. What great fellowship it was with one another and our King. What a privilege it is to be able to go 'straight to God'. We don't have to go through the process of sacrifice as they did in the Old Testament, or anything of the sort; He's here all the time waiting for us to come to Him. I don't thank Him enough for taking my place on the cross. How great is this God! The one True God, Who is constant and Who is Truth. Blessed be His name forever. Though we don't have to do as they did in the Old Testament, we are to sacrifice our lives... I have been seeking what it means to sacrifice one's life. I feel like I am only now, just beginning to get a glimpse of what it meant for God to sacrifice His Son for the world. This only makes me want to live for Him more. It is so easy to let the things of the world get in the way of loving and living for only Him. I know I can never repay what He has done for me, and what a blessed people we are to know that He does not expect us to. What does it look like to sacrifice our lives for Him? Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship." 1 Peter 2:5 "you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." These verses come to mind. I don't know why I am writing all this, but I hope it may resound with someone..as well as myself.
