I Give Myself Away

Good morning.  For our devotion today, I invite you to listen to one of the songs we’ll be singing at the Saturday evening service, “I Give Myself Away”.

Here are the lyrics:

I give myself away

I give myself away So You can use me

Here I am

Here I stand

Lord my life is in Your hands

Lord I’m longing to see

Your desires revealed in me

Take my heart

Take my life

As a living sacrifice

All my dreams

All my plans

Lord I place them in Your hands

My life is not my own

To You I belong

I give myself

I give myself to You

 

Can we honestly say today that our longing is to see God’s desires revealed in us?  How willing are we to place ALL our dreams and plans in His hands?  We might be afraid that God’s plan won’t be what WE want.  That is sometimes true.  But it is also true that if we seek God first, we’ll generally find his plans to be better than what we thought we wanted .  “Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
