Yes, take EVERYTHING

As I began starting and planning my life in Indonesia, this song is echoing in my ears. I remembered praying "God, this is my life. You can use it to do whatever you want it to do or to be."

First couple of days were difficult. My mom began shouting to me to start my job. My heart and brain were complaining because they have been useless for some days. My body began groaning of tiredness.
Then, I asked Him, "God, is it really true that I came back to Indonesia?" "Have I chosen the wrong path?" "God, I am desperate. What do you want me to do?"

Silence, no answer.
I made up my own plan: applying to A company, phoning B company, sending an application form for C master program.

"Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine.
"
This lyric struck me.
I know, I have surrender everything, all things, to Him.

Lord, Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, and send me out.

Take my Life - Chris Tomlin

Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice and let me sing
always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as You choose.

::Chorus::
Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for Thee.

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour
at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.


My prayer for today:
Take my intellect and use
, every power as You choose.
