The Question

As I listen to this song, I have to ask myself the very question that this song asks.

"I'm Still Yours"

If You washed away my vanity
If You took away my words
If all my world was swept away
Would You be enough for me?
Would my beating heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives and takes away

If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart will sing to You

When my life is not what I expected
The plans I made have failed
When there's nothing left to steal me away
Will You be enough for me?
Will my broken heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives
And takes away

If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart
Will sing to You

Even if You take it all away
You'll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still know

That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours

Oh, I'm Yours
I'm still Yours
I'm still Yours

 

It is time to surrender, no matter what I have lost. I look at my life and I have lost quite a bit. I struggle with doubt, discouragement and just fear. I want it my way, but the more I lose, I realize that if I would just surrender it to God, then it isn't what I have lost, but what I have gained. It is about seeing that more of Him, means less of me, less of my needs and wants, because I am replacing them with what God wants for me, not what Geoff wants for Geoff. It makes a big difference, but each day will define how much it makes.

 

Completely surrendering my will, my wants, my thoughts, my all to Him. What does that leave me? It can't just be part, I am finding it has to be all. What is OK for someone else to do, does not mean it is OK for me. I am reminded of that daily.
