A living sacrifice, not conforming to this world - Romans 12:1,2,

Good morning all.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
    I do hope you enjoyed and learned a little about Samson.  He was God's man, yet he had his faults.  Sound familiar.
   Romans 12:1   I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 
² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
   Now read this in the NIV and just take time to think about it and absorb what it is saying.  More about it tomorrow.
  12:1 NIV
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
  ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
    Our pastor preached on this yesterday and it definitely had an impact on me.  Further discussion on the morrow after reading, praying, and studying this scripture.  Love you all.
  In Christ's Love and Grace
