I am Yours.
Do we even realize all that those words mean, as often as we say them? Do I even realize?
I am Yours means I will always belong.
I am Yours means I am God's child, I will always be loved.
I am Yours means I am God's love, I will always be cherished.
I am Yours means I am God's servant, I will always have a purpose.
I am Yours means I am God's sheep, I will always be provided for.
I am Yours means I am God's possession, I will always be protected.
Even the smallest part of that statement is infinitely complex. Just think of everything contained in that one letter "I." That means me: my mind, my thoughts, my will, my heart, my body, my voice, my life, my possessions--everything--His. Surrendered entirely in one breath.
Is there any statement so freeing, so empowering, so encouraging, so humbling...?
There are few other three word statements I can think of that even near this for potency and it seems as though they are all connected:
He is risen.
I am forgiven.
I love you.
