I Give Myself Away

Giving yourself away... what does it mean? Let's think about this. We give ourselves to our jobs. Most are on the clock eight hours a day at minimum and putting in over time when needed. Some of us even ask for overtime hours. We tell the boss use me as you please. I'm here! Then there are those whom give yourself away to love. Getting in relationship giving your all. Making sure quality time is set aside and date night is taking care of. Giving yourself away to family. Spending times with the kids, household duties, checking on family members, etc. Giving yourself away to your hobbies and what ever else you may have going on. While this isn't bad, we must too avail ourselves to God. Giving Him our all as we do with other things in our life. We must make time for God no matter how busy our lives may become.

William McDowell's, I give Myself Away (song of the week pick) lyrics are pure, sweet, simple & amazing! It says, "I give myself away so you can use me." To be used by God is a great, humbling place to be. What I'm constantly learning is when we avail ourselves to God He expands us. Meaning, He takes our gifts, talents, dreams and exceeds where our mind could even take us. Not only that but our relationship with God is building as well. Operating in God's Will will lead you in the right direction. Realize your life isn't your own. It was given to us by God. Giving yourself to Him means taking on His will for your life. Trusting His will for our life is better than our own. Believing that dropping your will for His will only lead you to a better place. I promise you giving your life to Him is the best decision.

You may say you got it going on now and your living your dream. Yet living without God's hands on your life is just not living at all. Give your life completely to Him and watch how your life changes. Not saying you won't have difficult times because you will. Yet, see that you feel better. Even when those tough times come you know you will make it. Being in the presence of God is an indescribable feeling. Let God manifest His will in your life. The way you make yourself available to the things in this world give that much more to God. Set aside that daily quality time to talk with God, read His word & for Him to speak back to you. Give yourself away to God so He can use you as He desires.

He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30

    Sometimes we sing songs and just sing songs, cimpletely ignoring the essence of the words, not understanding what it means to do or be what we are singing.
    Thank you for breaking this down more and making it easier to practise in everyday life. God bless you x
