All of Me

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you

--John Legend, All of Me

I have had this song stuck in my head all day. As I'm singing it, I feel like it is God singing it to me. Weird, right?

Go ahead and look at the words in the refrain. God's love for us is amazing! It's kind of overwhelming! He loves all of us!! Our curves, our edges, our imperfections!  All of us!!!

I have struggled with this. How can God love all of me? I'm so far from perfect! I could lose a few (a lot) of pounds, I sin, I don't always do what God wants, I have even questioned God's love for me. How can God still love me? 

Guess what? He does!!! John 3:16 says that "God so loved the world, He have His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him will never die, but have eternal life!" That is how much God loves us and we need to let Him love us, even when we don't feel worthy of that love!

The last 2 lines stick with me as well. God gave his all to us (His son, Jesus) and He has asked that we give all of us to Him. We do this by saying "yes" to His will. Some may be giving themselves to God by getting married and having a family, some by entering priesthood and religious life, others are called to single life. Whatever we are called to do, we need to give our all to Him!

Are you giving your all to God?
