Where Would I Be?

There's a catchy new song on the radio these days that echoes a common thought of mine:

And where would I be without You?
I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay
I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way
I'd be building my kingdom just to watch it fade away
It's true
That's me without You

Sometimes I wonder what I would be if my life didn't belong to God.  I could be in vet school right now, or a music major, or have a good job, a nice car, and a cute boyfriend just like any typical girl my age.  I could have had a grand life all about making myself happy here and now.  But I don't have time to waste running after things that won't last -- I'm too busy being God's servant in little "unimportant" things.  It may not look like much of a life at times, but the more I think of "the good life" I might have had, the more thankful I am for the good life I do have.  For I have peace and joy that money can't buy and fame can't earn.  Not that there's anything wrong with music skills and nice cars -- if those things would help me serve God, bring it on!  But they're too small to live for.  Suppose God hadn't chosen me?  What a complicated, hopeless existence.  But oh, joy and glory, He did!  And I wouldn't trade knowing Him for the world.

Hallelujah!

All I have is Christ!

Hallelujah!

Jesus is my life!
