I Belong To You

The words of a chorus have been going over and over in my mind this summer. They are:
I Belong to You, I am not my own, I am wholly yours alone..
All my hearts desires, all my cherished dreams,
I lay at your feet, with all of me, for I belong to you.

I belong to You, I surrender all, I'll come running when you call
Where You send, I'll go, if You ask, I'll stay,
And there's nothing less I'll do, For I belong to You, I belong to You.

I haven't so far been able to locate the author or the copyright to give credit where credit is due for this song, but this expresses the passage in the Bible about how we have been bought with a price and aren't our own so therefore we should glorify God with out bodies. I know that the credit for everything in my life is Jesus, who bought me with an unbelieveable price on the cross and ALL the credit is due to him.

I think of this when I'm exercising in the morning, because God has given me a body and good health and I want to use my body for His glory. I think of it when I have a decision to make about money. It is all His and is this the best way to use it for Him? I think of it when I am rushing around trying to get things done. My time belongs to Him. Am I using it in the best way possible for Him?

A side note, i typed in a ToR article, and for a blog, it was WAY too long. So the whole ToR blog thing probably wouldn't work, unless we could find someone to do a custom template. So consider that idea up there with lead balloons :)

I'm so glad and excited that you have a blog now. I have missed your little sermonettes that I got to hear all the time at bible school. So this is great for me that I can continue to hear about all that God is continuing to do for you.
