Reflecting

Yesterday our pastor taught on Leviticus 1:1-9 for our Wednesday night study. There's so much information in such a little timeframe and I want to make sure everything sinks in so today I reflected on the teaching and applied it personally to my life. I identified the things that "belong to me" that I can give up to God as a burnt offering. I considered whether or not I'm giving God leftovers. I asked myself if I was holding anything back. And at the end I was blessed to be reminded that God has provided a cleansing so that the offering of myself to God is washed of all the ugly and dirt I accumulate throughout the day. Sometimes I feel ashamed coming to God when I've messed up throughout the day and I tell myself that God isn't pleased with me. But this reminds me that I still can come and worship Him, and because He has cleansed me, I can bring my whole self to Him.
