     What does it men to be a Living Sacrifice?
     The Holy Spirit must reveal it to you and make it beautiful. Otherwise, instead of
following, you will be making human decisions and choices that will result in insecurity
and resentment.
     Soldier of the Cross, this is the situation:
     Because there is no other Truth, and no other Door and no other Way and no 
other Life, you chose the efficient thing - following Jesus, The Word.
     In addition, He touched you.  You knew it.  Now, you still know what is what, but 
your feelings do not match.  Never mind.  Proceed anyway.
     Ask The One who is The Word to open up to you the stunning dimensions of the
meaning of being a Living Sacrifice.  After all, Paul tells is it is our "reasonable 
service. . ."
     He will open this Place of Freedom up for you, and He will its reveal infinite depth,
simplicity and desirability to you.
     Then, He will empower you.
     He never intended to make you feel sacrifice-like.  He intended to be allowed to
bring about His own Nature in you.
