I pretty easily fall into the trap of believing that my performance determines my worth. Which generally leads to a colossal fall. This week, that has been in the form of physical illness. Between a migraine (missed work Monday) and then a flu-like thing (missed work Wednesday), God has knocked me down. The mildly amusing part of it all is that I drug myself to work today for an observation first period by all the "regional managers" for the national program that I am a part of with my Computer Science class. I felt like a truck had run over me by the time class started. And yet, the evaluation and comments after class were all insanely positive, and were sent to all of my bosses and their bosses. So I end up with this really awesome performance review, when I am completely and entirely spent. All I could do was laugh. Not me... Not me at all...
It's a good reminder, really. My performance has nothing to do with my worth. And my abilities have nothing to do with my worth. It's not my strength. When I surrender what I have for what God has, and I find my worth in Him alone, He can use me.
"Here I empty myself to owe this world nothing and find everything in You" - surrender to Him... I can't promise that you will love your performance... but I can promise that it won't matter. Find your everything in Him.
The riches of this world will fade
The treasures of our God remain
Here I empty myself to owe this world
Nothing and find everything in You
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender all to You
Take my life, a sacrifice
In You alone I’m satisfied
Here I empty myself to owe this world
Nothing and find everything in You
Everything in You
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender all to You
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender all to You
Not my will, but Yours be done
Not my strength, but Yours alone
Nothing else, but You oh Lord
I find everything in You
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender all to You
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender all to You
