Laying Down My Arms

I read this excerpt from C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity tonight and it really hit me. How much of myself do I continually hold back from the Lord? What rights do I continually cling to that aren't even mine to grasp? The only liberty I have as a Christian is to give up my rights.

"The Christian way is different: harder, and easier. Christ says, "Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want all of you. I have not come to torment your natural flesh, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there. I want to have the whole tree down. I don't want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked--the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours."

Oh Jesus, teach me how to give my whole self to You, as You have given Your whole self to me.
