So Why Not??

I wrote this really late one night when i couldn't go to sleep cause i felt very overwhelmed. One of my good friends stopped talking to me completely. He ignores me and won't give me the time of day at all. There's a really long sotry behond why that has happened... Then i had an aunt try to commit suicide the Sunday before Thanksgiving. She was too stressed out and she felt alone and deserted... So as i was laying in my bed i was realizing how all of these feelings that my Friend and my Aunt have could be avoided. To give it to God is the solution. There are times to where we hold out on God, we'll only give Him the good things about us and the good things in our lives. But we forget that God wants it all. If my Friend and my Aunt would give everything to God- to lay everything down at His feet- then things would be so much better for them. So i pray that they will realize that soon.... And that's how this little thing came about. Hope you enjoy :)

Why don't we give our all? How come we don't see God as He truly is? If we only knew the pain He felt when we sin. If we only knew how much He really gave just so we could draw near to Him. To pay our debt He became the ransom. And so save our lives, He gave it all. Why don't we realize what He has done? But more importantly, why don't we realize who He is? He is the king of kings. He is the Lord of Lords. He is power and He is strength. Yet He is loving and He is compassionate. He is mighty and He is triumphant. Yet when we are overwhelmed, He is the still small voice that speaks softly to our soul. If we could even begin to grasp who He truly is, that is when we would give Him our all. He desires us, our all! Our everything! The beaufitul parts, the ugly parts, the good parts, the bad parts. Everything. He wants everything. Lay it down to him. Just give it to Him. Not out of obligation, but out of love... He loves us, so why not?
