of my mind Still you call me to walk On the edge of this world To spread my dreams and fly But the future’s so far My heart is so frail I think I’d rather stay inside But You love me anyway Its like nothing in life That I’ve ever known Yes You love me anyway Oh Lord, How you love me How you love me It took all of my strength To simply be still To seek but never find All the reason we change The reasons I doubt And why do loved ones have to die But You love me anyway Its like nothing in life That I’ve ever known Yes You love me anyway Oh Lord, How you love me How you love me I am the thorn in Your crown But you love me anyway I am the sweat from Your brow But you love me anyway I am the nail in Your wrist But you love me anyway I am Judas’ kiss But you love me anyway See now I am the man who yelled Out from the crowd For Your blood to be spilled on this Earth-shaking ground And I turned away with a smile on my face With this sin in my heart Tried to bury Your grace Then alone in the night I still called out to You So ashamed of my life, my life, my life But You loved me anyway Oh God How You loved me But You love me anyway Its like nothing in life That I’ve ever known Yes You love me anyway Oh Lord, How you love me How you love me You love me Yes You love me Yes You love me Yes You love me How you love me How You love me How You love me Great I Am I wanna to be close,

Joshua 24 • He called everyone together – it was a day of significance • He reminded them of the history of the children of Israel • He took them close to 700 years earlier, when God made a promise to Abraham • He reminded them of the recent victories that God gave them over their enemies Now therefore! • Verse 14 brings them to the brink of a large decision they will make over their lives and he asks the question in verse 15 Fast forward 1000 years • Those same children of Israel made a commitment to serve the Lord • They turned their backs on Him because compromise seemed easier • Their stubbornness, pride, and trusting themselves caused nothing but trouble • Assyria, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and now Romans were their masters Paul utters these words • Romans 6:16-23 • He says again – choose whom you will serve Fast forward another 2000 years • Every one of us has decisions to make every single day • A study of 200 middle aged people done by Cornell University estimated a person makes up to 35,000 decisions in one day (where to sit, where to eat, what to say, where to go etc) • What is your line in the sand? What is true north to you? Self application? • So are you already born again? Have you made the public declaration of who you will serve. How are you doing with that? • Have you never made that decision? How is that working out for you? What are you waiting for? Jacob Anthony Eager • Today, Daniel and Jesse will declare who they will serve as they raise their latest gift from God • Galatians 4:1 – They are stewards, parents of a gift. They will watch, protect, train, and teach until Jacob can make his own line in the sand to accept and live for Jesus
