Come Awake!

Matt Maher, Christ is Risen.
Please listen to the chorus. Do you know what this means?!
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake! Come awake!

I am learning more about how God has formed me; He gives us everything we need! This is a constant theme in my life, that He gives at His perfect time (perhaps He is preparing me for a long waiting later, when I will have to turn back and remember how He has provided now). My entire life... He gives blessings at the exact time when I am ready to receive in order to give them back. For example, I am still very prideful, but He has taught me that all my gifts, my talents? They are from Him, and are for Him and through Him. When I realized this: I was set free! I used to be bound by pride and guilt: prideful about my talents, guilt at the pride, so I would try to be "modest" (different from being humble) and I didn't know how to deal with the gift so I would rather not use it. But now... I am learning to use them as ways to worship Him and love others! How amazing! I am set free because I can enjoy my own gifts and talents, just as I would enjoy anyone else's gifts and talents realizing they are from Him and not because of me, who I am or anything I did. 

Come awake! Come awake! 
Are you sleeping? Do you know that there is more, so much more?
Do you know that if you try to keep your life, you will lose it?

To someone who left a comment about "just walking" many times and not being picked up:
I need to say sorry, (I am so sorry! Please read that again) because when I wrote "He will not pick you up from the ground, no, He will help you up as you overcome, you must start walking (faith) and He will lift you (grace) and you will fly..." I don't think I wrote it correctly. I read it in My Utmost For His Highest and I thought it made sense and sounded good, but I think it is misleading. I think it's more like this: Luke 5:17-26.
