i love the jesus talks to me. he has demanded everything. but he does it in a way that isn't demanding. It's almost like he is saying i need everything now, as soon as possible, NOT because i am a demanding person or a demanding God. but because I love you. I love you so much, and I need you to understand that i need all of your life to fix everything. but at the same time i love you so much that i won't get in your way if that isn't what you want.

He wants us to understand that he needs everything, but there is no way that we could ever understand that. he tries to make us understand that by sending his only son that he loved very much to the earth to die for a people that could have cared less. he wanted to show us that he wanted to sacrifice for us so that we could see that he needs everything.

once he has everything and he has control of your heart, not control because he wanted it, but control because you gave it to him. once he has everything. then he can change you. he can change you from the inside out, which is the only way for us to change. God knows who we are in our hearts and he wants us to have his heart. he wants to replace our heart with his. all we need to do is give up control of our lives and give it to him.

Matthew 16:24
