Your life is not your own

Dear Kids,
It wasn't until I began to have you guys, that the scripture that says, "Your life is not your own..." 1 Cor. 6:19,20 totally came to life for me. I realize that my life belongs to you right now and it will for many years. And while you are young, you are needing a lot, and it is demanding, but I would not give it up for the world.

That scripture in Corinthians means that when you give your life to Jesus, when you surrender your wants, desires, dreams, to His Way and His Will, that is called giving your life to God. And your life is really not yours, you give your life to Him. The next part of the scripture tells us why our life does not belong to us. It says this: "You were bought with a price." God purchased each of you with the life of His Son so that you don't get what you deserve. We all deserve to go to Hell because of the sin in our lives. "All fall short of God's glorious standard" Romans 3:23 But when we surrender to the Lord, he gives us what we don't deserve...an eternity with Him in Heaven. Thank you Lord. I love you guys!
