I have mixed feelings about only having 5 more days to work through this concept of sacrifice. There is so much I haven't finished and likely won't get thoroughly processed. That's both the frustration and the encouragement in this. Never enough resolved and yet the rest of my life to follow this along.

The idea of a 'holy and acceptable' sacrifice is worth another day of thought. I am tempted to be unholy so often that I can feel unacceptable. But there is no sin in the temptation, and resisting the temptation leads to real acceptability in God's eyes.

Holy and acceptable -
Holy - set apart and cleansed for God's use,
Acceptable - allowed into His presence,
my "living sacrifice" is to be cleansed by God, set apart for His use, and familiar with His presence in my life.
