Have you ever looked at Abraham and said to God “I will sacrifice my son, I will give him to you” but God was silent. Sometimes we expect our chosen sacrifice to be sufficient, God I will give you this or you can have that. But when God reached out and requests that one thing we are all up in arms…why that? That’s too much. But God is asking for ‘us’ completely and fully. He wants our hearts. In my mind I assume that by giving God the tough stuff I can get by dealing with the rest, but that’s not how it was intended nor does it really work that way. I can pretend that I am walking on the water, but in really the pond is just frozen and about to crack any second. God I give you it all, teach me to lay it down at your feet and not pick it back up.
