Part 28

I guess the question we must ask ourselves, as we examine our lives, is what do we really value, our things or God's? Let us pray with the empowering of the Holy Spirit, we will be able to say "God's. "

All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me fell the Holy Spirit
Truly know that Thou art mine.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessings fall on me.

I surrender all,I surrender all,
All to Thee,my blessed Savior, I surrender all.

(VanDeVenter, Judson W., text, "I Surrender All," The Celebration Hymnal, Word Music, 1997, #596)

Personal Application : What is the most joyful day of my life? What made it so joyful? What factors under my control prevent all my days from being joyful? What can I do about this? Prayer for the Week: Lord, may I experience a life of joy that is derived from a rightrelationship with Jesus Christ. May others see this in my life and through it and the power of Your Spirit, desire the same for their lives. (Baker, Donald, Philippians, Jesus Our Joy, InterVarsity Press, Downers Grove, IL, 1999, adapted from p. 29. )
