All I Want

I cannot describe the impact that this video has on me. Everyone should see it at least once a week!

This song has been one of my favorites since I first heard it years ago, but when I saw the video, it made more sense and the words just fell into place. I can’t say too much about it because it speaks for itself, but I will just share which parts touched me the most.

In the beginning, Jesus is marveling over His creation, us. He woos us, courts us, shows us how much He loves us. Every beautiful thing in creation is a gift from Him.

When the man in black comes in and interrupts, it is our choice to make whether to hold onto Jesus or be attracted by the flashy distractions all around us. The beautiful things of creation become a tool against us when taken out of His Hands. Everything, one after the other, line up between us and Him, ’til it seems impossible to get back. But once we make the choice to get back to Him, He is waiting with open arms.

The most powerful part of the video for me was after everything had beaten her down and she was on her knees reaching out, JESUS JUMPED BETWEEN HER AND EVERYTHING IN HER PAST PUNISHING HER. He took the pain, the guilt, the punishment onto Himself, and came out victorious! He has done this and promises to continue to do this for everyone reaching for Him.

If you have the chance, please watch this video as well. It’s a take on the same skit, just redone a bit. I don’t think it’s better, but the part where she is fighting to get back to Jesus is definitely well done.

Lifehouse – Everything

Remember, grace means that no matter how far we walk away from Him, He never leaves us, but is just waiting to prove His love for us. Let Him!
