<strong>Jesus</strong> Life<br />
hears from mJa<br />
members, Artemis<br />
Artemiou and Mary<br />
Davis: one about what<br />
makes him bubble with<br />
excitement - and one<br />
about what makes her<br />
boil with rage.<br />
sacrifice<br />
SACRIFICE MEANS ‘to give<br />
up, forfeit, to surrender’: words<br />
which remind me <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>. He<br />
gave up His life. He forfeited<br />
His life. He surrendered His<br />
life. I must do the same. Being<br />
a “living sacrifice” for the Lord<br />
is awesome, man. It’s such a<br />
relief to know that if you give<br />
it <strong>all</strong> to the Lord, He’s going to<br />
watch your back. He’s going to<br />
fill your life. No worries.<br />
I’m just starting out. Turning<br />
my back on the world’s ways<br />
and giving it <strong>all</strong> for <strong>Jesus</strong>.<br />
The relief and peace I feel is<br />
immense. Nothing else on this<br />
planet can make you feel like<br />
this. I just get so excited when<br />
I think about what I’m doing for<br />
God and that He’s going to use<br />
me for His will.<br />
So what have I sacrificed?<br />
Everything that gets in the way<br />
<strong>of</strong> God. That means, for me,<br />
no self-centred independence<br />
(I’m living in community with<br />
my brothers), no TV, no Xbox<br />
(’cos I’ve got no boredom to<br />
fight), no money <strong>of</strong> my own<br />
(sharing it <strong>all</strong>), no shopping<br />
days, no cinema, no holidays to<br />
exotic countries, no staying up<br />
late listening to ghetto music<br />
with my mates, talking about<br />
ungodly things.<br />
I don’t need these things.<br />
They don’t fill me, spiritu<strong>all</strong>y,<br />
like <strong>Jesus</strong> does, so why carry<br />
them on?<br />
I don’t fear giving my life to<br />
Him. The Lord has just filled me<br />
with peace and such a deep joy.<br />
I want to tell everyone! Living<br />
for Him is the only place I want<br />
to be. I don’t want second best.<br />
