Abandon

I've been sitting at this computer for about 2 hours now and have made at least 23 great beginnings to blogs about giving my all to the Lord.

They all stunk.

God is trying to teach me how little I can do without Him. I'm learning the delicate balance between "I can't do it" as a restriction and "I can't do it" as a chain-breaking device. The following is a wonderful song that happened to come on as I was failing as a writer.

The Stand - Hillsong Music

You stood before creation

Eternity in Your hand

You spoke all life into motion

My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure

Carried the cross for my shame

My sin weighed upon Your shoulders

My soul now to stand

So what can I say

What can I do

But offer this heart O God

Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation

Your Spirit alive in me

This life to declare Your promise

My soul now to stand

So I’ll stand

With arms high and heart abandoned

In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand

My soul Lord to You surrendered

All I am is Yours
