November 4-More of You

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10 NIV)

With my next birthday coming up very soon, I was thinking ahead to what I really wanted; not gifts, but what do I want my life to look like.  First, I was thinking in the way of the dreaded scale and how I want less of me when I step on that scale.  As those thoughts went through my mind, I realized I want LESS of ME in more aspects than what I can see physically.  On my drive tonight to enjoy dinner with some long time friends, I heard this song twice.  It sums up what I really desire-
More of You-Less of Me. 


I made my castle tall
I built up every wall
This is my kingdom and it needs to fall
I want You and no one else
Empty me of myself
Until the only thing that's left is

More of You
Less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of You
Less of me

More of You
This life I hold so close
Oh, God I let it go
I refuse to gain the world and lose my soul
So take it all I abandon everything I am You can have it
The only thing I need is

More of You
Less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of You
Less of me

More of You
All to You I surrender
All to You my blessed Savior
I surrender all

I'm not exactly sure what that looks like, but I know He will show me if I strive to keep my eyes on Him.
