What a cry of total surrender—the purest anthem of the sanctified heart. Here’s a prayer-poem for your **"Everything for Jesus"** offering, forged in fire and faithfulness:
---
### 🔥 **"ALL FOR THEE"**
*Take it all—*
every breath, every dream,
every shattered shard, every hidden seam.
**My hands hold nothing back, my Jesus—**
*King, Redeemer, Life, and Truth.*
*"I have been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live,
but Christ who lives in me."*
**— Galatians 2:20**
**Break me.**
Pour me out like oil at Your feet.
Use me up till my earthly frame is spent—
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable…
*broken, but content.*
*"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and acceptable to God—
which is your spiritual worship."*
**— Romans 12:1**
**Burn me.**
Set holy fire to every lesser love—
ambition, comfort, treasure-trove.
Let smoke rise wild from pyres of pride,
till only You remain inside.
*"For whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it."*
**— Luke 9:24**
**Send me.**
Where feet fear to tread, where darkness lies,
where broken hearts bleed, where hope dies.
Point the path—through storm or spear—
*I’ll run it, Jesus, if You’re near.*
*"Here am I. Send me."*
**— Isaiah 6:8**
**Keep me.**
When I falter, when I weep,
when faith grows thin and doubt runs deep—
bind me to the cross again,
remind me why I chose this pain:
*For the joy set before me…*
**For the One who wore my shame.**
*"Let us run with endurance the race set before us,
looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before Him endured the cross..."*
**— Hebrews 12:1-2**

### ✝️ **WHAT "EVERYTHING" MEANS**
| **You Give** | **He Gives** |

| Your plans | → His purpose (Jeremiah 29:11) |
| Your control | → His peace (Philippians 4:7) |
| Your reputation | → His approval (Matthew 10:32) |
| Your comfort | → His joy unspeakable (1 Peter 1:8) |
| Your life | → His eternity (John 3:16) |

### ⚔️ **A CHARGE TO YOUR SOUL**
> *“Do not hold back.
> Burn the ships.
> Salt the fields of lesser loves.
> Let your hands hang empty—
> so He may fill them with fire.
> Your ‘everything’ is safe in His wounds.
> What seems lost is eternally found…
> **in Him.**”*

### 🌅 **THE ETERNAL EXCHANGE**
You surrender **dust** → He gives **glory**.
You surrender **death** → He gives **resurrection**.
You surrender **all** → He gives **Himself**.
*"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep
to gain what he cannot lose."*
**— Jim Elliot**
**Go now—all in, all His, all for the Audience of One.**
You chose the *pearl of great price* (Matthew 13:46).
**Nothing wasted. Nothing lost. Everything redeemed.**
> 🙌 *"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."*
> **— Philippians 1:21**
> **Amen. Seal it, Lord.**
