"Is your all on the altar?"

I have a Precious Moments Bible that I got when I was just a little girl.  I still keep it in the nightstand beside our bed.  I love to look at the illistrations and the descriptions that are through out it. 

One of the pictures has a saying underneath it:  "Is your all on the altar?"  While I'm sure that can be taken in a few different ways, it has really been speaking to me in one particular way.

The past few days, that question has been echoing in my heart.  "Is MY all on the altar?"  As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been a little stressed lately.  I found a lot of my time with God has been about what has been worrying me.  I've been putting my stresses and concerns on the altar. Turning those aspects over to Him.  But what about everything else?  Yes, I am a Christian.  I have already given my heart and soul to the Lord, but am I consistently, intentionally, and entirely laying them before God on the altar? 

I found that often, when things are going good in a certain area of my life, I am a little lax about that particular part of my life. Too often, I find myself focused with the "problem" areas when it comes to my time with the Lord.  But God doesn't want just part of me.  He doesn't just want my worries.  He wants my all on the altar, all of the time. 

There is nothing better to bring to Him as an offering, than my whole self, all aspects of my life.  I am now focusing everyday on consistently, intentionally, and entirely putting my all on the altar.
