You provide the fire, Ill provide the sacrifice. You provide the spirit, and Ill open up inside. Fill me up Lord, fill me up Lord. This song has been stuck in my head for the past two days and as I sing it I ask myself, WILL I provide the sacrifice? Am I willing to give some things up if God asks me to? There are so many things in my life that I like to do, like use the “h” word, watch rated R movies, listen to secular music and other things of a more personal matter. One might think that there is nothing wrong with these things, that they are not hurting anyone so why would I have to stop? But, what if God is asking me to stop? Small things such as these can bring separation between me and God.
If I am singing this song is because I genuinely want God to fill me up. I have now realized that I am full of things that God doesn’t like, and they are taking the place of the things God has for me. So I MUST get rid of my selfish desires, my negative thoughts, my pride, my doubts, my insecurities so that God can fill me up with HIS purpose, his blessings, His love, His reassurance and His confidence.
As I renounce to these things and much more I learn that God does not condemn me, rather He make me a new creature and every day as he renews his blessings and His calling in my life. I am a part of His family and because of this I will live according to the plan he has for me.
