Unashamedly Christian

I’m turning 20 and leaving me teens as of tomorrow. It’s not something I’m really looking forward to, not so much because I’ll be old (cause I’m not), but because it’s the start of another season of life. The next few years are going to be ones filled with big decisions. And I want God to guide me in everything – my lifework for Him, the friends I choose, the girl I marry – I want it all to be under His direction! I’m listening to a song now that sums up how I want my life to be:

O Great God

O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore

I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven?s joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace

Help me now to live a life
That?s dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your name through me

So I’m 20 tomorrow, and I know that I’ve just scratched the surface of God’s plans for my life – I’m looking forward to where He’s going to lead me!
