All for Jesus

Our church held a worship evening called 'ReNEW' tonight, the theme focussed on Jesus, what He has done for us and our response to that.  Among the many songs we sang, this one by Robin Mark particularly spoke to me:

Jesus, all for Jesus,
All I am and have and ever hope to be.
Jesus, all for Jesus,
All I am and have and ever hope to be.

All of my ambitions, hopes and plans
I surrender these into Your hands.
All of my ambitions, hopes and plans
I surrender these into Your hands.

For it's only in Your will that I am free,
For it's only in Your will that I am free,
Jesus, all for Jesus,
All I am and have and ever hope to be.

As I was singing it struck me that it is not only the ambitions, hopes and plans for my life that I surrender to God, but also my ambitions, hopes and plans for my children's lives too.  I am to lay down the things I want my children to be, and lead them to Jesus so that they can discover and live in the fullness of God's will for their lives.  So that they will not be limited to my desires for them, or even their own desires, but be truly free to live how God intended.
