All There Is

Yesterday I talked about how much we want/need God in our lives (All I Want - http://thedistinctdot.blogspot.com/2009/08/all-i-want.html), and today I'm going to ask you another two questions:

How much of you does God want you to give Him?
How much of your life have you given to Him?

If your answer to both these questions is not "Everything", please ask yourself why.

There is no doubt that God does want you to give your whole life to Him. He wants all of you. So why have you not given God your all? Are you scared of what he'll ask you to do? Do you feel you're not worthy of God's love? Are you scared of what your family or friends might think?

Whatever your reasons, God can and will help give you the strength and encouragement to do all He wants you to do.
Psalm 199:76-77 (NIV)
May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.

The following are the words of a beautiful song "All There Is of Me" by Sydney Cox, which I find expresses my desire to give "all there is of me" to God:

All there is of me, Lord,
All there is of me.
Time and talents, day by day,
All I give to Thee.

All there is of me, Lord,
All there is of me.
On Thine altar here I lay,
All there is of me.

For time and for eternity,
Take all there is of me.
