my life?

We started a new sermon series at my church yesterday, on the parables of Jesus. It began with a great discussion about new wine in old wineskins. I don't remember if the pastor used these exact words necessarily, but I came away with the thought that Jesus does not want to be a part of my life--he wants to be my life, if I'll let him! It brought this quote to mind.

There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. Let everything else go, but maintain that at all cost, and God will fulfill His purpose through your life. (This includes meeting the needs of your heart.) One individual life may be of priceless value to God's purposes, and yours may be that life.
