After a morning filled with crazy around this house with a baby and toddler....
"Jesus, I know I haven't spent as much time with you lately. What do you have for me today?"
"Everything. I have everything for you, child. Time. Energy. Stamina. Patience. Health. Grace. Love. Treasure...everything. All you have to do is ask. It's here for you. It's a gift."
"What do you need from me today, Lord?
"Everything."
Freedom didn't come free on the cross. We are surely given the gift of grace, and so much more that we don't have to earn, but let us not forget that, while we don't have to earn our gift, it isn't fully free. It costs everything we have in return.
"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32
"Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." Matthew 10:39
God gives all. And God asks all. This is a lesson that has seemed to pop up a lot for me over the years. Think on that with me today. He's given and will give you everything you need. Have you given Him everything?
