True value

I've had "true value" on my gtalk over the past couple of days and received more questions on what it means than my other shoutouts - mostly questions of what it means. It's interesting how "value" is important to people.

So, what is of true value? Relationships. Our impact here on earth in our lifetime. People who have made a difference in our lives.

Thank you Father for your gift of a wonderful family and for M.

Learning to submit in obedience to God's will ... scary stuff.

I'm ready for the next leap! What is it???

I offer my life

We sang this very scary song at Wesley today:

(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life

May our lives together bring glory to you, our Saviour, and testify of your love.

What makes a good Christian marriage? Two good Christians. And, what that means is, that you both love the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart, and He is the priority in your life, and that you, faithfully, together, pursue a path of obedience to Jesus Christ.

God has indeed been good. Through the emotional ups and downs, he's still here. Although things cannot always be perfect and expectations need to be aligned. I am happy. :) There are loads of uncertainties, but I trust God will keep us safe in His hands. May His grace and wisdom be the cover over our lives.
