As C.S. Lewis stresses the importance of giving all areas of your life to God, initially id like to think that I give pieces of each area to God. I even fully trust him with those pieces. For example: I give God glory with my mouth, ill tell him that the sacrifice is for him- so that he might receive glory. In those moments when I serve people, or love people, poor myself out. I'll tell him that it is for him that I do those things- but my heart that desires affirmation of man, wants to be recognized for what "I" have done. My prayer today is that I would trust the Lord, in laying down my pride in all areas. That the joy of my heart would be serving in secret, knowing that he is piece of me that is love.

"Beware of practicing you righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. " Matthew 6:1
