Render yourself wholly unto the Lord.

I found this site completely useful when researching how to give yourself to the Lord.
In Summary:

SALVATION! Think of what has been given you
I was a sinner, but now I’m clean

SALVATION! Make more of what has been given to you
Tell others about Jesus’ love, the changes that He’s made in my life…spiritually (prayer, Bible, Faith), mentally (clarity, right / wise thinking), physically (healing of back pain, saving from dangerous perils), provisions for food, housing, education, comfort and strength to endure tumultuous situations.

SALVATION! Render yourself to God for all that He has done for you. Serve, give Him everything.

Render yourself wholly unto the Lord.

some of the info is pasted here:

I have shown you, bretheren, have I not ? that you have richly received, that ' unto you has been given much : ' and now I beg you do not let the thoughts pass away : think of these things : realize now and often your advantages : reckon up your wealth : how true is it that what we most need is not to know more or to have more, but to make more of what we have, and realize more in what we know ! Lift your eyes to the height of what is given you, for it towers high, and you must lift your eyes from your own level and the level of the things which amuse us and engross us in order to see it : enlarge your hearts to take it in, for our hearts are very narrow chambers* only God has given them a wonderful power of enlarging to take in what is good. If you do this you will ' see your' calling : ' you will feel bound to walk "worthy of that calling" which sounds to you through every blessing that God has given to you, but sounds loudest through that which you have in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Standing at the outset of your life with the unhewn block before you which it is yours to fashion, you will grasp —oh why should you not ?—what so many learn painfully and late, the true and brilliant secret of what life is, a secret which is yet plain and open for those who have eyes to see ; that it is not an enjoyment of self for self's sake alone, not an eating and drinking for a few days before we die, not a strife for success, but a rendering of ourselves to God for all the benefits that He hath done unto us.
2 Cor. 6:12 Eph 4:1
