All I have to say....

I wanted to add a new posting and found myself at a loss for words. That's when I realized that sometimes the words I want to say are already written somewhere else. As I sat and tried to gather my thoughts, this song was playing on my playlist and just spoke volumes to what my heart was screaming. I'll share it with you for my posting today. Sorry it's been so long since I've written! Life is busy....and I am in need of being emptied. Make sure you listen to the song while you read the words. It's a powerful message.

Empty Me

Chris Sligh

I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright

to see how it gets in the blood

And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride

And found a little is not quite enough

I know how I can stray

And how fast my heart could change

Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

And any foolish thing my heart holds to

Lord Empty me of me so I can be

Filled with You

I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies

To know how prodigals can be drawn away

I know how I can stray

and how fast my heart could change

Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition

and the poison of my pride

Any foolish thing my heart holds to

Lord empty me of me so I can be

Filled with You

Cause everything is a lesser thing

Compared to you, compared to you

Everything is a lesser thing

Compared to you

So I surrender all

My prayer today is that I will take this holiday season to empty out my life of any foolish thing I'm holding onto. I have desired for so long to get back to the heart for the Lord that I once held so dear. The only way I can do that, I now know, is to get rid of the things in my life that get in the way of me opening my heart up for Him. I need to completely SURRENDER ALL!
