-the answer is Up-

i guess this is an answer to a question on someone else's blog.
I don't know where I am. And often i find myself confused. lost. unsure of where I'm stepping, why I'm stepping. where my future lies...why the past has brought me to the place I'm at.
When I look forward I see, I fear....cuz i don't see anything...anythign I can do. When I look back, I wonder why....which is why i've been reminding myself to look UP. Or maybe I'm not reminding myself anymore...it's just the only place i can turn.
Yet i know....only one thing. I want to go on with the Lord. I want to see Him. I will know Him more. Just musn't let myself get in the way. My self-pity...or lack of confidence..or uncertainty.
I do trust Him. I do want to let go.
As i start prepping for VBS this year...i come across this song....these lyrics...ring true in my heart...
Lord I want to be pleasing to you in ev'rything I do.
And i want to love you more, more than yesterday-more than words can say,
'cause you gave your life, you lived and died for me, for me
You paid the price, you sacrificed for me, for me
And now the least that I can do is live my life for you.
But I know wanting is not enough. We must will it & do it.
I don't deny the pain, all the thoughts, the questions..the struggles, but this is all worth it.....why? one may ask. As one dear old lady once answered with a few simple words: Jesus was crucified.
Why is it worth it? because He died for us. This is the least we can do: give Him all we have. I have nothing to give. So I must give my all. Though it is nothing, He delights in it, so it is enough.
