Take the World but give me You
Reflecting on this weekend and the days prior to it, there remains only one thought in my mind.
Take the world but give me You!
I rather die this very moment than to be seperated from the One who saved my soul. May he strike me dead from Heaven this second, if I cannot be in my Father's arms.
If this world is all there is and if the Christian life I see all around me is all there is, than why live?
If Sin is permanent and there is no overcoming, why live?
If friendships come and go, strengthen and weaken, but ultimately are like the passing of the wind, why live?
If the pleasures of this world are all that could be offered, why live?
If the longings of my heart cannot be fulfilled, why live?
Take the world but give me You!
Nothing else can satisfy, nothing else can fuel me, nothing else I desire.
Take the world but give me You!
.........
Song running in my mind:
Jesus, thank you for the cross,
For the blood you shed for me
The crimson stain of all my sin
Washed away in your great love!

hello peter!
Paul talks about this too, and ends saying that "yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake." I am so thankful and blessed and overjoyed that you can truly say this. Yet, I am also infinitely glad that you are here, for my sake. You are a wonderful testimony of your Father to me, and I thank you for it. Thanks for the post!
