God…
My Father…The Lord Jesus…The Holy Spirit…
How much of my life…of your life…should be surrendered to God?
What about your whole life?
Would you think it too far- if your entire person was consumed with a passion for Jesus?
Of course not.
But why is it so often we settle for a, ‘hotter than most’, ‘more passionate than the others’,..’no-one really goes that far’…’you can stop now, you’re a good Christian’– type of attitude?
I wanna burn for YOU LORD! I want to be a ‘burning-one’.
I want to be consumed with the love of Jesus.
I want to burst with the Light of the Gospel.
I want to decrease, I want the Lord to increase.
I had a revelation recently…a shift..
I’ve been trying to gather, collect, and horde the Lord- I want MORE! Give me MORE!…
But I realized that it’s a finite mind trying to capture an eternal God…
I stopped praying, “GIVE ME MORE OF YOU!”…
and started praying, “GIVE YOU MORE OF ME!”
When I honestly considered my heart, of what I wanted…I found that while it was true that I wanted God more than I knew Him–I just wanted what God wanted…and then I realized God just wants me!
Suddenly I realize how much more sense it makes to ask that God would give me to Himself…I am only so small- and He is SO ABLE.
So I want it all…All of me given to All of Him.
*LORD JESUS, come into this Temple and turn the tables over. Every dark place, shine Your Light. Consider me a burnt offering, a drink offering – Poured out and consumed. Give You all of me Lord.*
Wow. Thanks for that Michael. I’m blessed and encouraged to see all that God is doing in and through you life. How amazing would it be, and how much more would we be able to reach the lost with the Gospel if we all surrendered ALL of ourselves to ALL of God? Thanks for sharing your revelation. Your “Aha! Moment” 🙂
Wow… “give YOU more or me!”
Is every facet of my life His? Is my heart that my possessions are His and just on loan to me?
It definitely takes turning tables for some things.
