You can have Jesus, too...

Probably a random line of thought, but I would change the chorus lyrics to Jeremy Camp's Give Me Jesus.

I LOVE this beginning line and the verses and even the melody, but the chorus has always bothered me a bit... specifically this line:

"You can have all this world, but give me Jesus."

My, how wise and benevolent of us. *eyeroll*  I get that it's supposed to be about how strongly we love Jesus, but I think it unintentionally shows how messed up our thinking is regarding the worth of the world vs. the worth of Jesus... and how we're mishandling God's command to love and care about other people as much as we love ourselves.  If we could see it clearly, what we're basically saying is "You can have this whoooole pile of trash, but give ME the unending supply of gold!"

Because the things of this world will not last, and we know that. And God's love really is unending and unlimited... there's enough of Jesus to go around! He wants everyone to join the party.

So I like to sing it, 
"You can have Jesus, too, and give me Jesus."

Hope you have a happy Wednesday!!
