Here is the truth...
God wants all of me, more than I am willing to give him.
I have been wrestling with this thought and did not know how to put it into words until now. The small group of high school guys that I lead is going through Francis Chan's book Crazy Love.
This book and my reading through the Scriptures lately is really wrecking me over and it is a very good thing. I have known for most of my life that God loves me and when I was 16 I decided that I wanted to surrender my heart and life to this God who made me and died for me. I just think that for most of my adult life I have spent so much time trying to get more of God rather than giving God all of me.
Maybe this makes sense to you deep in your core, or maybe it doesn't.
All I know is that I need to get away for a day or a couple days and start giving all of myself to God. Often times hearing the truth hurts and that is a good thing. We as a society try to avoid pain, or medicate pain, or escape pain rather than embracing the painful moments so we can grow.
Are you giving God all of you?
