I want to give it all away.
My heart screams for it, longs for it,
yearns for the desire to lose it all for Christ.
But I get so caught up in trying to make sacrifices
that I spend more time trying to count it as loss than in the presence of God.
And how much more would all the things I am trying to lose pale in comparison if I actually dwelled in Christ?!
I run the race, but take my eyes off the prize
and my feet become entangled by the ropes of my pride
and I fall
because I took my eyes off who I was running for
and compared myself to who I was running with.
And all the while,
there was no 'checkpoint'
there was no place I reached that made me any more worthy.
There was just grace.
Teach me Lord to have faith,
to seek relationship
instead of empty religion.
