All I am is Yours

So I'll stand, with arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I'll stand, my soul, Lord, to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
-I'll Stand by Hillsong United

At Praise last night we sang this song and it is a song that I listen to quite often. These words have a great meaning and often times we forget how amazing God really is. We go about our days just getting done what we have to get done for the next day and even for something later that day. So many times we forget to just stop and praise God. We are His children and we should be in awe of Him and make sure that we take time for Him daily. Lately I have been really tired and busy and I haven't done my devotions every night this week like I used to do. I need to get back into that because when I did them I felt great when I went to bed right after I did it and it helped me to remember how awesome God is. We need to try to always remember this because it was Him who created us and has a wonderful plan set out for us.

The song says "my soul, Lord, to You surrendered All I am is Yours." To me this is probably the deepest part of the song and that part that has the biggest meaning to us. We have surrendered our soul to God and that has made us His. So this means that we should be living a life for Him and recognizing the beauty that He creates. He gives us everything that we ever need and more because truly we only need Him, but He gives us so much more. I think we sometimes forget that we are living for God and we stray away from Him, but He knows that we belong with Him and He will make something happen that will lead us back to Him. The picture below is of me on the first day that I had felt rain in over a month because of the drought this summer. I had edited it to have the lyrics of this song on it. It is my background on my computer and is just a great reminder to me that I am Gods and I am surrendered to Him and will do whatever it is that He has planned for me.

Remember that we surrendered to God and that we are His.
