Jesus said to a man who wanted to know what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus answered "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
God calls us to give up the things we hold dear, to surrender everything. THEN follow Him. Have I surrendered all things in my life to Him? It seems so easy to say "yes i surrender" but the truth is, maybe I selectively choose the things that are easy to let go of. I still see my hands shut tight hanging on and trying to control my circumstances, my relationships. trying to use my human effort to get through tough times. It dawned upon me that only when I loosen my grip on the things that fill my hands, only then will I be able to grab hold of the bountiful grace that He has in store for me.
God all that you have given me, I give back to you. You know best how to use me and my circumstances for your glory. All I need is you.
Your grace is enough
More than I needAnd your word I will believe
I wait for you
Draw near again
And your spirit make me new
And i will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And i will worship you here
Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By your spirit i am free
And i will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And i will worship you here
(This is Our God- Hillsong)
