Look what you've done

I just got back from a high school retreat with my school and we sang this song by tree 63 and that was the first time that I have ever heard it and it got stuck in my head! But this song didn't only stay stuck in my head that whole night but the next day to... It was stuck in my head the whole 2 days! It was intense! Now I don't know if you know this but I CANT STAND when songs are in my head! It drives me insane!! Like the inspector gadget theme song gets stuck in my head all the time like right now it is in my head just because I am talking about it... but anyways... This song... when I finally just sat down and sang the words and was listening to what I was saying I totally thought about the lyrics... here they are...

Look what you've done for me
Your blood has set me free
Jesus my Lord look what you've done for me
I haven't been the same
Ever since that day I called your name
Yahweh Yahweh look what you've done for me
What can I do for you my Lord?
I want you to know my heart is yours
It's not a question of what you can do for me
But what can I do for you my Lord?
Up to your cross I crawl
Now I am standing ten feet tall
Jesus my savior look what you've done for me
Free at last I'm free
I owe you my life completely
Yahweh Yahweh look what you've done for me

Aren't those lyrics amazing! Its called "Look what you've done" by Tree 63 (I encourage you guys to download it). Look at the chorus... "What can I do for you my Lord, I want you to know my heart is yours". Just that right there is incredible! You telling God that you are His and will do whatever He wants! And.. "Its not a question of what you can do for me, but what can I do for you my Lord?" I have challenged myself to ask God what I can do for Him... not ask him for things He can "do for me" but what I can do for Him. Its really amazing when you think about those lyrics!! Man I love this song! "Free at last I'm free I owe you my life completely" Look what God has done for you!

Metamorphasis

Romans 12:2

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I was reading this verse this morning in my doer devotions from girls workshop. This verse I am sure a lot of you have memorized but when you really look into it, it has a great message! The first part of the verse is talking about conforming to this world. And its basically saying don't let the world determine who you are or who you are going to be. Don't let it be what you are known for. "But be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Now that may be kind of confusing but think of it this way... A catterpillar. A cute little catterpillar. Now you can't just staple wings to a catterpillar and call it a butterfly! The catterpillar has to go through an inside change first and then it transforms into a butterfly. Thats kind of what this verse is saying. Its saying that we should not just folllow the patterns of this world. BUT it should be an inside change... "by the renewing of your mind"... and that will effect if you conform to the world by what you do on the outside. But it all starts with what is inside of you and then overflows into what happens on the outside. "Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
