Getting Into You, by Relient K

When I made up my mind
And my heart along with that
To live not for myself
But yet for God somebody said
"Do you know what you are getting yourself into?"

When I finally ironed out
All of my priorities
And asked God to remove the doubt
That makes me so unsure of these
Things I ask myself, I ask myself
Do you know what you are getting yourself into?

Chorus
I'm getting into you
Becaue you got to me, in a way words can't describe
I'm getting into you
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm going to love you with my life

When he looked at me and said
"I kind of view you as a son"
And for a second our eyes met
And I met that with a question
"Do you know what you are getting yourself into"

Chorus

I've been a liar and I'll never amount to
The kind of person you deserve to worship you
You say you will not dwell on what I did but rather what I do You say
"I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into"

Chorus

He said, "I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into"

The beauty of a relationship with God is that His love calls us in and draws us to Himself, and we can be exactly who we are when we are with Him. 2 Corinthians 12:9 tells us , "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more glady about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." God knew exactly what He is getting into when He started pursuing a relationship with us, and He loves us anyway. Sometimes I can't help but be like, "God are you sure you want to love me? I am so flawed, I make so many mistakes, and say so many dumb things." And it is then, in His still small voice, that he reminds me that is power is made perfect in my weakness, and that when I am weak he is strong. I'm still struggling, I'm still weak, but when I stumble, and when I fall, God is there to pick me up, and once again remind me that he knew what he was getting into when he gave His life for me, and that He is never leaving, and that His love for me will never change. "I'm getting into you because you got to me in a way words can't describe...you're essential to survive, I'm gonna love you with my life." Jesus, I know that you are essential to survive, help me to love you with all that I am.

p.s. Just an update on the pregnancy center thing: I am officially going to be a volunteer counselor! I start training on the 20th of September! The peace, and excitement I feel are telling me that it was the right decision! I'm so excited to see how God is going to work! : )
