"Give me your life and I will give you life abundant." These were the words I once heard Jesus speak to me while sitting on the side of the Grand Canyon.

I am sure God has spoken these simple yet profound statements to all of us in different ways at different times. But I am coming to realize that we have to give God our life not just once but daily. As much as we learn to trust and give to God our life, it has to be done over and over and over. I once read "Life begins at the edge of our comfort zone." I believe this is so. If we get too comfortable or complacent we risk becoming stagnant. We need new challenges in our life because in them we can grow even more with God. We can invite God into our new challenge and we can see the wonders of living life with God unfold anew. God wants to live with us and be with us in every thought word and experience we have. Give yourself to God this day and allow God to give to you a day filled with awe. Amen.
