Here I Am, I Am Yours

Just out of curiousity, when you first read/say this, what do you think of?
Well, I had always said it from my perspective, "Here I am, I am Yours, Lord!!" But that isn't the only way you can think of it.
I was at a youth retreat a week or so ago and we were having an amazing time of worship, just seeking God's face. And we got into a time where there were no set lyrics, we were each singing our own songs from our hearts to the Lord. and then the vocalists on stage might start singing into the mic and we would sing along for a little while.
Well, we were singing these words over and over again, "Here I am, I am Yours." And I was singing them from me to God, because something I had in my heart many times over this summer was "Here am I, send me." Then one of the worship leaders, when the music died down, started speaking. And one of the things he said that really spoke to me was that it is not necessarily me speaking to God these words...it is HIM SPEAKING TO US.
He is saying, "Here I am, Allie, I am yours." Wow, how amazing is that.


I am my beloved's and He is mine!!

Oh, I love that...that has been major revelation to me this week too.

I am swimming in His love and I can't stop saying, "Oh, how He loves me..."

What sweet, sweet revelation!

Love you!
