As we drove to Church this morning I was singing and some of the words just caused me to lift my hand (just one...I kept the other on the wheel) as my heart praised and loved on my Jesus.  And as I looked in the rearview mirror Lily was raising her hands and smiling.  In that moment I just prayed - Oh Lord, let her know how awesome You are and let her worship You all the days of her life.  It is incredible to think that I can teach her about Jesus but I can't make Him her Master.  There will come a day that she will choose who she will serve. (only 2 choices - Jesus or Satan....people don't like to think about it like that.  They say "oh, I don't follow either one."  wrong.  You either serve yourself and live out of your own best thinking or you look to God and follow Him / total abandonment to His will.) 

What an awesome God and I hope that He will be Lily's Master and Lord one day.  Here are a few of the words to the song I heard this morning...makes me want to raise my hands to Him again :)

The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory


Now I know, my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry


I know
My Redeemer
He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives
Forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
And now He's alive and
There's an empty
Grave!
