To give it all away

Easter is here- He has risen indeed.....

What does it mean to give up all that you love for the one who loves you more then you can ever know? This is the question that I have wrestled with this past week as we walked through lent into mourning into Easter dancing. What does it mean to give up that which I love so dearly - even if it honors you Lord, what does it mean? If I count it all as loss, and all of you as gain, why should it matter... Why should it especially matter tonight?

Take away what I love deeply Lord if there is no need for it in my life
otherwise bind me to it, so that in unity we may glorify you and work to usher in your kingdom on Earth....
Nothing is worth more then you - nothing
I will gladly walk away if it is your will
with empty hands
