All in
I grew up in the 80’s.
Those of you who were there understand. I was all in. I grew up in southern California. Anyone who has been there understands. I was all in. Hollywood hair bands, dance clubs. I was all in. I was free to do whatever I wanted. and I did. I was all in.
Then I met Jesus.
I was all in. He set me free, for real. No chains. I was all in. Years have passed. I’m still all in. I led worship for years. I was all in. Why wouldn’t I be? What I served before I knew Him could never compare. If I was all in then, I wish I could be more than all in now.
Why?
Because there is nothing in this world that has moved me more than Him. Nothing that has changed me more than Him. No one has loved me like Him. I’m all in. I may be that weird lady down in front who is a little too into worship. But I’m all in. And I know that He deserves more than I have ever given anything or anyone else. And He will have it.
Because I’m all in.
I would venture to say that if your heart doesn’t beat out of your chest just to get close to Him, then you don’t really know Him. His beauty outshines the sun. His strength overpowers everything. His grace floods a heart in a moment. His love changes everything. Everything. Maybe today is the day. Maybe right now is the moment you really get to know Him. Let Him capture your heart today.
Who is like You among the gods, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness. Awesome in praises, working wonders?
Exodus 15:11
