love and surrender

Yesterday at the gathering we sang a song that I've always loved. But it wasn't until last night that I really understood the magnitude of the words that I was singing...

"I surrender everything, every part of me"

"Your love makes it worth it all"

That isn't easy stuff. I don't know about you but I have such a hard time surrendering. It is going to have to become a daily discipline in my life I think. Let's get real probably an hourly thing knowing my track record. But it's something that I desire in my life even if it means I'm spending more time surrendering than anything else.

The last part of the song is what got me the most. I want nothing more than to be able to say that His love made and continues to make it worth it all. The surrender, the refinement, the struggles and hardships, the victories and defeats, the joy and sadness. Jesus loves makes it worth it ALL! I don't know if my heart right now can say that but Jesus continues to be faithful to me in the journey and I am closer than ever to that point.
