*All in*

"It doesn't take much of a man to be a Christian,
 just takes all there is of Him."

Is it a matter of surrender? 

Is it a matter of dedication?

Is it a matter of focus?

Is it a matter of love?

Is it a matter of obsession?

I know I need Him. Of this I am VERY aware.

But how do I get to the point in which I am ALL IN?

It's all or nothing. 

I want to be all in.

In His Arms,

The only thing...

This Labor Day weekend me and 60 others that I work with attended our annual Staff Retreat in the North Woods of Michigan. Every time I think that I know where I stand, every time I think I know who He is, every time I think I am making progress...He reminds me the only thing that's good in me...is Jesus.

I heard someone say the other day
They'd seen in me true love displayed
Blessed by something I had done for them
No sooner had they said these words
I found myself some how disturbed
Uneasy as I took their compliment
Cause I know the heart inside this man
I know the truth of who I am...


The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
I know me well enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus


If you could walk the hallways of my heart
And see things as they really are
I wonder if you might be surprised
Seeing faded walls of pride and fear
Rooms I've filled with faithless tears
And corners where I stood in compromise
But you'd see the work His grace has done
You'd know just how far I've come


In a thousand years
When the dust of this world clears
And I look back on my life
And see in perfect light


The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus
I know me well enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

In His Arms,
