The Whole Offering: Surrendering the ‘I’

What does it truly mean to be a living sacrifice?In today’s episode of Words of Light for Today, we are brought face-to-face with a powerful truth: surrender is not partial—it is whole. Through a deep and sobering reflection on Romans 12 and the Old Testament sacrifices, this message calls us beyond surface-level faith into a life fully yielded to God.Reverend Adkins unpacks the reality that everything in our walk with Him is voluntary—love, obedience, prayer, even kindness. Yet, while it is voluntary, it also requires grit. The battle is not external—it is within. The “I” in us—our will, our pride, our fear—is the very thing that must be laid down.When the mind is renewed, clarity comes. When the “I” is surrendered, peace takes its place. And when we offer ourselves completely, we become that sweet-smelling sacrifice—holy and acceptable unto Him.This episode is both a challenge and an invitation:Will you hold onto yourself… or will you give Him everything?Because in the end, transformation begins where surrender becomes complete.
