I've been listening to some very good music. My wife has been copying some of our CDs so that we can both listen to them and this one song by Steven Curtis Chapman keeps coming to my mind "I'm gunna love you with my life" and although I can remember hearing it and really liking it in the past, being who I am now and having gone through so much as I have now, that song has a totally new meaning! It is now extremely important to me. So important that it is my song now between me and Jesus. I do want to love Him with my life! It's one thing to say it and a totally different thing to do it.

At the beginning of the song it says:

There is a pressing question
My heart's been asking me
When I say I love you Lord
What does it mean?
It's one thing to say it
And another thing to do
How can I show you it's true?
I'm gonna love you with my life

The mere words say it all!
I'm gonna love you with my life

Not with my words or behavior, none of those alone (as many religions say) but with my life. Think about that for a moment. If God is omni everything and scripture clearly states that He is, then He really does know if you act one way at Church and another when you're elsewhere.

Ok then what does love you with my life mean then? Great question! We are to be like Christ, hence the name Christian. So what was Christ like? You asked another great question! People would probably say many things but patient, forgiving, always willing to go the extra mile…,you could go on and on, but the ones we named are often the hardest ones for us, as humans, to gain.

So what's different for us verses Jesus. I could be wrong, but He NEVER EVER QUETIOND HIS HOME. NEVER. But we do. We have been told many times in scripture that it is evolving, who is building it, but we want the details! Who? What? When? Why? Where? We think that we have to know! Why? Because we're humans? I don't think so, because as I have read that we're living eternally and as humans we can't do that, but human nature just drives us on and on so all we can do is trust God and go where ever He leads us.

That's what I do. I never would have thought that what has happened would have happened and that I would be alive today, but it did happen and I am alive. Why? Because He controls life and death and there's, obviously, still work to be done for Him by me.

Do I know what work I'm here for? Nope but I'm going to love him with my life! When people speak of me, I hope that they will think of Jesus!

When I was going to bed last night (yes, I'm always thinking) the main reason that I had written to you finally came to me! It's as simple as the words I'm gonna love you with my life. That's what Jesus did. At the cost of His own life He loved us, and now as Christians we're able to do the same thing: Are you willing not to be caught up in the "you display" to be caught up in the "Jesus Display"? I AM!
