Sweet Surrender!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! There is a very real feeling that is associated with surrender. I can remember when I finally surrendered my life to God about 5 years ago for the second time.. This time was different. I completely surrendered. Determined to ride out whatever that meant. I knew it had to be better than the turmoil I was facing everyday. It wasn't that my life was bad...just empty. I had friends, I had a great family, I had a good job. Wonderful children....but something was missing. I had a pretty good sized hole somewhere inside me. When I finally spoke out loud and said "OK God you can have my life"...there was a peace that settled over me that day. Since then there has been a journey of surrenders. We find that our whole being is tied up in surrendering things to God on a daily basis..because if we are not careful, we may let them go only to go back and pick them up. But when we truly walk in submission to God... all things work out for the good. The Bible talks about all things working together to the good of those who love the Lord. Let's consider Love for a moment. When we stood at the altar to marry our beloved... because we loved them we surrendered our name and took his own. From that moment in our walk with love we surrendered our life as a single person and began to walk together as a couple. No longer just obeying our needs and wants but thinking of our spouses' as well. Isn't that what it means to love God? Trusting in that love so much and believing that he knows what is best for us? Knowing that he has our best interests at heart? I find true peace when I just let him make those decisions that are out of my control for me. I find that all I have to do, when something confronts me that I don't know how to deal with, is just bow my head and say a quick prayer...Dear Lord I surrender this problem to you. You know the future and you can see farther than me. Work it out to the best Lord...I thank you for it. Amen. I have seriously seen things began to happen in just moments. It's that beautiful surrender to him. He honors that surrender. It means that I truly love, respect and honor him to take care of me. I know this was long.. but in my vacation state, I am able to let the Holy Spirit truly guide me. I fee that this is truly meant for someone out there today. May you be blessed with true surrender as you watch the desires of your heart manifest.
