FREELY GIVE IT

As my regular readers know, we've been in the process of getting our house ready to sell so we can move onto the mission field. That's meant a lot of cleaning, de-cluttering, and organizing. It has also meant a lot of praying.

When I asked my online homeschool community for prayer because I was feeling overwhelmed by the whole process, sweet Lindsey sent me a song to listen to. Once again, God has used Five in a Row to bless and encourage me. The lyrics to GO by Hillsong United are what I want to be able to say and really mean it. I want to be willing to give it all away for Jesus, not with dragging feet because I have to, but because I want to!

After all, who likes to receive a gift grasped in clenched fists? I mean really, if I had to force a friend to give me a birthday present, would I really want it? I want gifts that people want to give to me. And I want to do the same for my Lord and His precious "least and lost".

GO by Hillsong United

We're giving it all away, away
Giving it all to go Your way
We're giving it all away, away
Giving it all to go Your way

In the Father there is freedom
There is hope in the name that is Jesus
Lay Your life down, give it all now
We are found in the love of the Savior

We've come alive in You
Set free to show the truth
Our lives will never be the same

We're giving it all away, away
Giving it all to go Your way

We are sold out to Your calling
Everything that we are for Your glory
Take our hearts now, have it all now
Let our lives shine the light like the morning


We've come alive in You
Set free to show the truth
Our lives will never be the same

We're giving it all away, away
We're giving it all to go Your way
Giving it all away, away
We're giving it all to go Your way
Roll back the curtains from our eyes
And now we can see You
Shown us Your way, Your truth and life
We offer our lives to bring You fame
We're caught in Your freedom
We're caught in Your freedom

Giving it all away, away
Giving it all to go Your way
Giving it all away, away
Giving it all to go Your way

Change my heart, Lord.  I do want to joyfully give it away --- any and all of it away --- for you!
