"And I would give the world to tell your story..."
I saw that quote on someone else's blog and it absolutely captured my heart. It speaks multitudes when someone is willing to dedicate their life to one cause. It goes against everything in the human nature and the "never put all your eggs in one basket" or "don't spend all your money in one place" mentality that our parents have instilled inside of us.
There is something bigger. There has to be.
Although I knew the answer to this question in my soul and mind, I still had to wonder what was worth giving a life for? Recently I have come in contact with many people's stories, which tell a tale of a person giving their life to a specific cause. I was reading TIME this afternoon and there was an article on Bono and his life philanthropy for the cure for cancer and other fatal diseases. I (by obligation) attended a "safe driving seminar" where I met a "teen driving activist". And I couldn't escape the thought in my mind that he is dedicating his time, his thoughts, his failures, and his successes to improving the safety of roads.
I mean, it's a good cause, but I know I am not passionate enough about automobiles to dedicate all of that to them. Then a song came on that captured my thoughts. "The King of Glory rescued me."
Okay, obvious Christian principle that I have grown up around and raised up into. Yes, I own my faith, but it was in that critical moment that I realized the magnitude of that statement.
The King of Glory rescued me.
The King of Glory rescued me.
The King of Glory rescued me.
Yes, yes He did. Why? Because He dedicated His life cause to me. He dedicated his time, His thoughts, His failures, and His successes to rescuing me. There is something about that extraordinary thought that is portrayed in churches every Sunday and Wednesday, that's the Gospel at it's finest. But, it was just then that I realized how important life dedication is.
At this point, I come to question my own.
"Who am I that you are mindful of me?"
Who will I dedicate my life to be mindful of?
