Countdown

I had my phone interview for Edge Corps today.
They said they like to let people know within two weeks.

UPDATE: I found out today (3/28) that I've been accepted. They want to know by next Saturday whether I am going to do it or not. I'm pretty sure I will, but I want to pray about it more. I'd appreciate your prayers as well.

3 words

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.
