Wholly

1 Timothy 4:15
"Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."

God is not ok with half measures in the life of His children. Salt that has lost its savor is good for nothing. Lukewarmness is not tolerated. "Give thyself wholly to them". Wholly.
Surrender is a terrifying thing. Letting go of my control over areas of my life is completely antithetical to my normal, fleshly way of thinking. And that is the beauty of it.
If I will take the time to truly meditate on the Word of God, on His commands and accompanying promises, I will have nothing less that complete commitment in my heart. If I meditate on the power, love, and grace He longs to pour into the life of a surrendered Christian, nothing would stop me from giving it all away, without reservation to my King. The result will then be a world having a front row seat to what God can do through a wholly committed life.
What is holding me back from wholly giving myself to God? What part of my life do I hold onto with fear? How can I take a step toward letting God have that? Am I meditating on Who it is I serve?
