Look What You've Done
I'm sitting here reading Philippians and in such rejoice over Christ Jesus. Even though I can't fully comprehend His peace and love, I can see what He's done for me (and you) to the extent of his will for that matter. I do know that while here (on earth) we will never grasp the full effect of what He did on the cross. I've even read a book that stated the angels don't even completely know what happened on Calvary. It's something far too big for our little minds to conceive.
I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with this, but lately I feel the Lord has been revealing His nature to me more and more. And in the realization of His death, selflessness keeps getting greater. It's funny, but I never thought thinking less of myself would be a good thing. Philippians 2:3 says it best.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself.
In ruminating over all of this, I start listening to an album I bought a few weeks ago but haven't listened to it much at all. Well, the third song comes on and my heart is drawn to it with much compassion. It's titled "Look What You've Done".
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

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
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 crawled, Now I am standing ten feet tall
Up to Your cross I crawled, 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
Free at last I'm free, I owe You my life completely
Yahweh, Yahweh, Look what You've done for me
I think this song says it all. I know in times of distress and/or suffering, we call to God for help. And I think most of us ask for Him to do something for us. But really, what can he do for us that He hasn't already done through His Son. He's already set us free, and SO much more. More than we can even comprehend.

Father, I want to give thanks for what you've done through your Son. I pray that all my prayers are full of selflessness. I pray that if I have any desires, it's the desire to do something for You. As it says in the song, it's not a question of what you can do for me, but what can I do for you. I love you so much. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.

Wow, I was just preparing what to bring to my youth group tomarrow night. I chose to sing this song in the worship service and I stumbled onto your testamony. I will include it for the kids. Thanks for your eloquence.
This is an awsome song. Iv'e been looking for it for a while.
that's a gret song i love so much...it's beautiful to know what God does in our lives. i'm Glad you're His.
I haven't heard such selflessness in anyone in a long time, other than my own pastors. They live their lives as servants to the Lord first, and then to the people of God. This is the kind of person the Lord loves to bless when we honor him above ourselves. I am so blessed hearing a man of God humbling himself to make this kind of stance. We are nothing and He truly is everything. Knowing He's already given us all we need and given life more abundantly, what more is there to say but, "what can I do for you?" Be blessed in your journey of faith.
Christ's servant
