Surrender.

I think we can be guilty of a shallow view of surrendering to God. I know I am.

Take money. We may think "I have given X amount of money to God. -He is pleased." when we need to have the attitude of "everything that I have has been given to me by God, for His purposes and pleasure."

Take time. Every moment we live should be for God's pleasure and to see His will brought to pass through us. But we justify a lazy vege-out or indulging in some personal whim, or just plain procrastinate and babble foolishly. Our time has been bought with the blood of Christ...
"Don't be foolish but be wise and careful, redeem the time for the days are evil" - Ephesians.

All this wastage when souls are perishing and spiritual starvation is rampart, let alone the brothers and sisters that could be encouraged... I've been encouraged that God has been using me again after shedding some nasty time wasting habits. Now to battle my proud heart.
