Romans 12:1-2
King James Version (KJV)
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
Living Bible (TLB)
12 And so, dear brothers, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living sacrifice, holy—the kind he can accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 God is a merciful Lord and loves us if we allow Him, He will mold us and make us this is what we need to give Him our all and hold nothing back from Him and He will make us in His image. By being in the way God wants us to be we can be used for His service which is what we are meant for, that and fellowship with Him.
2 We are no longer to serve our flesh as those who live for the pleasures of this world we are to grow to seek Him and please Him. We will during our growth as Christians start to think less of ourselves and what we want and think of what He wants from us and how and what we can do for Him..
