My Alabaster Box and His Mercy

I have been listening to "Alabaster Box" by Julie Meyer on repeat for the past few weeks. I can't get enough of it.  Giving my all to Jesus is a desire in my heart, but it is not yet a reality.  I want it to be, because He is more than worth it!  He paid the ultimate price, Himself, for me.  Why shouldn't I give all that I am (which is really all He gave me anyway) back to Him?  Why aren't I, what is stopping me?  Pride and selfishness. Yep, that just might sum it up almost completely!  Lord help me!


As I prepare to move back down to Kansas City (yet again:)), I am having to face all these issues with my attitudes, my heart posture, my intentions, etc. He is so kind and gentle with me through it all.  Every moment of stress, every thought of frustration, every evil thought, all of it.  I so desire to be like Jesus,and I know He is faithful to help me!  He is so merciful! I cannot say enough about Him, my savior, my friend, my Lord, my Daddy, my all! :)

What is your alabaster box?  What does it look like?  What does it feel like?  What is holding you back from giving your alabaster box to Him? 

These and many more are the questions I will be meditating on for at least the next few days!  I love long roadtrips by myself, it gives me time and an outlet to hang out and talk all I want to Jesus! :)
