These lyrics are more than just words. This song has been on repeat in my heart and my mind this last week. These words were a reminder to myself, showing me how badly I need Jesus. More than than that how badly I want Him. How deeply I love Him. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I want. I get distracted by who culture says I should be. I get distracted in the day to day. BUT I desperately need Jesus. These lyrics reminded me of this and how I am so deeply in love with Him. I don’t want anything else. Nothing without Him and nothing that is not from Him.

So the bigger question this poses…Am I living as a sacrifice? Or am I just living life the way I want? We get so caught up in all these other things and place idols in our hearts before God. It reminded me to surrender these things no matter how big or small. He is SO worth everything. He is so worth leaving everything you think you want behind. I’ve done things my way before … a lot! Through my own bad choices and mistakes Jesus never left me. It wasn’t easy! But He used those things for my good, and looking back I see He protected me from harsher consequences of my choices. Jesus is so so good. His ways are so much sweeter than we can imagine. His love is the purest thing we can know. His love is the love I want to be completely surrendered to.

Jesus is so worth EVERYTHING! And not because of anything He can do for me, but its because who I am when I am with Him. When you are surrendered to Him there is an overwhelming peace and love that embraces you. It’s in His presence and His love that I feel safe, free, known…everything this world is searching for. Everything is found wrapped up in Jesus’ arms. So today make that decision to live as a sacrifice for Him. He desires you. All of you. He wants the good…the bad… the ugly. He doesn’t care! He uses it all and turns it around for your good.

Remember You are Fearfully Made
