Worth It All

"Or, you may fall on your knees and pray—to God's delight! You'll see God's smile and celebrate, finding yourself set right with God. You'll sing God's praises to everyone you meet, testifying, 'I messed up my life— and let me tell you, it wasn't worth it. But God stepped in and saved me from certain death. I'm alive again! Once more I see the light!'"

-Job 33:26- (The Message)

"Out of that terrible travail of soul, he'll see that it's worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones," as he himself carries the burden of their sins. Therefore I'll reward him extravagantly— the best of everything, the highest honors— Because he looked death in the face and didn't flinch, because he embraced the company of the lowest. He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many, he took up the cause of all the black sheep."

-Isaiah 53:11- (The Message)

I don't understand Your ways
Oh but I will give You my song
Give You all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain
With it You are pulling me closer
And pulling me into Your ways

Now around every corner
And up every mountain
I'm not looking for crowns
Or the water from fountains
I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing
That the sight of Your face
Is all that I need
I will say to You

You're gonna be worth it
You're gonna be worth it
You're gonna be worth it all
I believe this

Song: Worth It All
Artist: Rita Springer

Do I believe it? I hope so...
What's poured out in every day action will prove or disprove my "belief." I pray I may be given a full measure of faith, to seek Him fully. I couldn't bear to bring only a part of me to Him, not after He gave everything for me and called it "worth it."
