Yielded Lives

Scripture:
14 God always makes his grace visible in Christ, who includes us as partners of his endless triumph. Through our yielded lives he spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go. 15 We have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God—a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing. 16 The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the life-giving aroma that leads to abundant life. And who of us can rise to this challenge? 17 For unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God’s Word who water down the message. We are those sent from God with pure motives, who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:14-17 The Passion)

To me this morning the phrase “Through our yielded lives “ is saying don’t have things other than my relationship with Christ trying for a place in my heart. I believe there is a peace that radiates out when we have truly yielded our lives to the Lord and will and direction for us.

Father, I truly desire to have a yielded life; yielded to Your will and purpose for my life. AMEN

I will keep my integrity, my God, by total surrender to You. It is clear to me that how I live my life, will dictate how You deal with me. Psalm 18
