Be Lifted High

image In my life, be lifted high

In our world, be lifted high

In our love, be lifted high *

Jesus

This is the chorus of a worship song from church called ‘Came to My Rescue.’ I’ve been playing it over and over on my IPod in the past few days just because I think it’s such a beautiful cry of the heart. In my life, be lifted high Lord.

What an amazing thing to be called the sons and daughters of God 2 Cor.6:18.

Of God.

To belong to God.

“Do you not know,” Paul says to us “you are not your own? For you were bought at a price” 1 Cor.6:19-20.

That “it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me” Gal.2:20.

That our vision, our work, our end now that we are His, is that Jesus be lifted high in us.

When John the Baptist spoke about Jesus, he said this amazing thing, that “He must increase, but I must decrease” John 3:30.

Lord, to have that heart that wants Your increase, that seeks after only one thing, to make You known, and Your power and Your glory. 

In my life, Lord, be lifted high.
