Lord,
Thank you for sending us your son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for showing us what an offering that is pleasing to you really is. You gave us the greatest example by sacrificing your son Jesus for our sins. May our hearts reflect his sacrifice in the way that we live our lives. Allow us to see clearly the ways in which we need to lay down our own lives, whether it be a sacrifice of servant hood or a sacrifice of a worldly possession that we hold in too high a place. Help us to see the areas of our lives that need to be given up for your glory that we might draw closer to you. We love you and want our sacrifice to be pleasing in your sight-for your glory and your glory alone.
In Jesus name,
Amen
