I desire every piece of you – every single bit, even the broken, shattered, ugly parts that you feel are useless. I value those as they are part of you! My love for you is an all-consuming fire. It burns in me, and it burns through you to take you to a pure, holy, complete process whereby you are made free, healed, and full of my glory!
Yet in order for this full, complete work to take place, I ask for all of you. I ask for you to lay every piece on the altar. Don’t hold anything back. Don’t give me just 95 or 99%. Put it all on! Give every part! My precious Son gave every bit of Himself so that every part of you would be gloriously whole, beautifully healed and fully holy. Will you give as He did? Will you submit to my fire?
Hebrews 12:28-29 NIV
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
Romans 12:1 NIV
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
