Has anyone heard the song You can have me by Sidewalk Prophets? If you havent you need to! It is great! This song has been playing in my head all weekend.
Here are a few lines:
If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams
Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life
When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me
How much am I willing to give up for the sake of following what God has asked of me? I know that He has a plan and His plans are better than anything that I could imagine. Would I leave my family behind even if it meant I might not see them in person ever again? Would I move to another country or town? Or if God asked me to drop everything and follow him right now would I be holding so tightly to what the world tells us is important that I wouldnt even hear His voice? I enjoy being able to have close friends in at least a short drive away. How would my realtionship change if when things got hard in my life that I only had God to turn to? Then I am reminded that "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self- discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
