Offering the Self to God

Offering the Self to God Howard Thurman One can make an offering of the self to God. This is far different from offering one's special talents, as important as that may be. It is more than the offering of resources, however great or limited they may be. It is to offer one's self: to put at the disposal of Life one's life, not merely one's needs, one's demands, one's frustrations, one's unresolved problems. This is to say to Life, "Here I am, I put myself at your disposal to be where I am--all of me. To do, where I am, with all of me. To respond to life where I am without bargaining or bartering."
