My Love, my All
I was very moved in a pre Easter service at church today. We were "experiencing the cross", and part of the process was to reflect on our sins (many!) and nail them to the cross before communion and then praise & celebration. So one of my big ones, the biggest I'd say, is gluttony and I believe it has contributed so much to my weight gain. During the praise time, they played the song Wonderous Cross, and the final lines of the song SCREAMED out at me (don't you love it when that happens?), b/c of what Jesus did on the cross, it "demands my soul, my love, my all". I thought to myself, I gave my soul already. But how shallow and sad that I don't always give my love and my all (or even an effort, come on Julie!) to address the sin that I still allow in my life. I was so moved and inspired! I really hope to remember this as a banner when the Lord got my attention and personalized my sin for me where I could see it, and be ready to repent. Does this make any sense to you? Maybe it was just my day at church....
