All of you

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" John 20:26-28

Thomas was skeptical and had no qualms about doubting his peers. But in his awesome love, Jesus met Thomas where he was by appearing to him and allowing him to see and touch the wounds in his hands and side. But look at how Thomas responds in John 20:28 above. I think it's safe to say that once Thomas got it, Jesus had all of Thomas. This week we are praying that Jesus has all of us. Not just a part… Not just some areas of your life… Jesus wants the whole thing. What areas of your life haven't you surrendered to Him? What doubts are keeping you from selling out completely?

Have a great week and a great fast.
Your brother,
Bob
