Footprints

Branded by a love like no other and surrounded by a force so great, You give us peace. Created from the dust in the ground, you made us whole and complete. Complete not only in life form, but in likeness of you. Some have chosen to reject You as their creator, their almighty, sovereign one. How could this be? You are God, Jehovah, and Redeemer. You gave me life even though I was a sinner. I did not deserve this life. I did not deserve to be given the chance to live freely, unchained with complete ability to make decisions. If today, on this cold night, I decided to be upset with You, even hate You, You would still love me. A love so deep it goes beyond the ends of the earth. This love is what I desire to have more than anything. You created me in the image of Your son, breathed life into me and promised me a life forevermore. Earth is but a moment compared to eternity in your pure and majestic kingdom. You left your kingdom to come be with us, to teach us, deliver us from our transgressions. You came to save me from the depths of darkness and death. You are the light of my life, and lead me to a path of pure joy. Lord I have sinned against You, spoken wrong things, looked at impure images, and ran from You when I was scared to talk to you. Yet you gave Your one and only Son for me to clean me of these downfalls. I do not deserve this love, this gift. I am unworthy of all it is You have to offer me. All you ask of me is my life, my heart and my love. Father I offer up everything that I am for You. My life, dedicated for one cause, your glory. My heart beats with the drums of a thousand armies all for your name to be lifted up. My love is all Yours, given up completely for You. I believe, I believe, I believe. You gave me hope, you gave me a choice. I choose You because You asked of me all that I can give. I dedicate my life to You—yesterday, today and forevermore. I want to be the son of a king, the servant of your majestic and beautiful throne, at your feet singing the songs of David, with the angels in all of heaven. Glory to God in the Highest! Water’s cannot quench this love you have for me. I will swim the deepest oceans and climb the highest mountains for Your glory to be heard across the earth. I will sing songs of praise for all to hear. Come be the fire inside of me. Ignite the deepest part of my soul to cry out for you. Stir up a hunger for a nation of young people to be leaders, not followers. Let us, as a collective of believers, brothers and sisters in arms, go forth to be the light in a world full of darkness—a lit flame, so bright it cannot not be extinguished. You are our Father, our Savior. We seek you in this time to be our leader. From the first breath of life till the day we die, we will live for You. Through prayer, faith and communion our everyday steps will leave a footprint of your love. A footprint for others to see, a footprint for others to follow. They will know of Your great and amazing love. A footprint is what we will set. This is our day, for You, forevermore. Amen
