Are you a bondservant to God?

Bondservant - a person who serves in bondage; slave.

TRUTH
Complete surrender of our lives to Jesus frees us to love Him and devote ourselves to God wholly. This is the meaning of "bondservant." When we love God unreservedly, our devotional lives are set ablaze with the fire of God. The Holy Spirit is free to mold and shape us and use us beyond what we thought possible. Devote yourself to God afresh today. Give Him all of you; do not withhold anything from Him. Give yourself to your Master as a bondservant of God.

ACTION
Titus 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness. Be a bondservant of God. Understand that to be a bondservant is to voluntarily become a slave to your Master. Be willing to submit yourself to Jesus as Lord and Master of your entire life. Devote your whole life to Him and follow Him.
Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. Worship God, who promised us eternal life even before time began. Place your hope confidently in His promise, for He cannot lie. He is trustworthy.
Titus 3:4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared. Worship Jesus; give Him all of your devotion and love. Know that Jesus expresses God's kindness and love toward us.

We can't be bondservant to work, to relationships, to idols, or to habits. We have no other choice than be a slave to God. Everything else falls short in comparison to the perfect will of God.

AMEN
