Of what does the consecrated life consist?
Your life is a consecrated one when you are ready at all times to do the will of God – when you are willing and anxious that God may be fully expressed through you, through your thoughts, words, and deeds, during every hour of the day.
You are not concerned with the question of results. Results belong to God.
Here am I; send me (Isaiah 6:8).
When we consecrate ourselves to God being fully expressed through our thoughts, words and deeds, we must give up some things. Vanity, pride and ego must take a back seat to obedience, selflessness and outgoing love. We must release our desire to manage and control every action and every outcome in our lives. We have to be willing to allow God’s will to flow through us and to follow God’s will where it directs us. In short, we must become a servant. Giving up up this control is very difficult and the desire to exert our will over our world is a basic human instinct we must overcome. When we do these things we rise above all human limitation and weakness while becoming the conduit for God’s will in the world. Then we are capable of accomplishing anything and then we experience God’s peace and joy. All things are possible to those who love the Lord and obey God’s will.
Seeking servitude,
