Sacrifice

To You I give my life, not just the parts I want to. To You I sacrifice these dreams that I hold on to.


Jason Upton is an amazing writer! I've got a few songs of his that I want to write about. So I'm starting with No Sacrifice. Those lyrics up there are just amazing. I listen to this song and I think about my relationship with God. When you have a relationship with Him, there are sacrifices you have to make to grow with Him. Yes, it's hard at times but it's always best! Give Him your life and it'll be so much better than what you could ever do with it on your own! And that lyric about sacrificing dreams that we hold on to, God put dreams in our hearts. He keeps our best interests at heart. There's a reason those dreams are there, but we can't put our focus on just our dreams. Our focus has to be on Him. God wants to help us fulfill our dreams. God wants to use our dreams for His Kingdom. 




Your thoughts are higher than mine. Your words are deeper than mine. Your love is stronger than mine. This is no sacrifice, here's my life.


That part right there is my favorite! God's thoughts are higher. His words are deeper. And His love is stronger than ours. God wants to use us. He wants to use us to speak to other people and to show other people His love. 




To you I give the gifts Your love has given me. How can I hoard the treasures that You've designed for free?


God has given us all our own gifts, talents, and abilities. That lyric right there makes me think, "Why keep it to ourselves? That's selfish." God wants us to use our gifts and abilities for Him. We just have to let Him have control. He loved us enough to put them in us. It's the least we can do for Him.


God sent His one and only Son to die for us. He desires a relationship with us. Not just go to church on a Sunday morning or a Wednesday night. But to spend time with Him throughout the whole week. To talk to Him. Not just through the bad, but also the good. To talk to Him about what's going on in your life, even though He already knows. He gave us the greatest gift. Why not thank Him by living your life for Him?
