I think I don’t really understand your love.  If I did, wouldn’t I live with reckless abandoned giving? With no care of what I think or want? Wouldn’t I live so others could experience and see your incredible goodness? Rather than working and thinking that I can’t experience happiness unless my desires are met. When I profess Romans 12:1 “present my body, a living sacrifice…”, I lay all my hopes,dreams, thoughts, action and desires before you.  Not just to die, that feels like loss.  But to  receive incomprehensible love, power and strength….so I can love and give like you’ve done for me.  Thirty seven years ago I thought I’d presented myself, a living sacrifice.  Now I see that what my mind believed it had done, my heart and body are still lagging behind.
