Hostage of Peace
This blog needs some lovin' =].
"Hostage of Peace"
~Tenth Avenue North
I just like this song so much, I have to share it :]. I've only recently gotten into this song, but its a really great song. I love this metaphor of a war, and that we're held hostage. Arrested, held against our will. I want to be captivated by His grace.
If we're fighting, let it be for Your kingdom
If we're violent, let it be against ourselves
Come arrest us with Your affection
Give us freedom, make our need our only declaration!
I really like that last line of the bridge. A lot of times, I don't want to declare my need.. I declare when I'm strong. Maybe I'll boast in my weakness even sometimes, but I'm still "strong" in a sense where I'm OK with my weakness.. but to boast in your need? I wonder what that's gonna look like.. Hopefully we'll see =].
God, I need you. That is all, and I will be satisfied in that. Take me hostage.

John 3:30 He must become greater, and I less. So, is it like, surrendering ourselves isn't enough, but that we have to DENY ourselves. But that makes sense; the more we deny ourselves, the more God fills us. I was sharing during WEBS what a speaker shared with AACF. It should be the case that the more we accept our sinful selves, the more we see how loving God is. And it should be the case vise versa: the more loving/gracious we see God as, the more deserving of wrath we should see ourselves.
