I hear SO often how we continue to try to “surrender” our circumstances to the Lord…and some how we just continue to feel burdened by them.
Ultimately, I think we often find ourselves trying to lift “up” or “off” these burdens to the Lord…and yet not always feeling the peace. Our minds picture surrender as something we “do”…but actually it is something HE does.
Surrender is really confession. It is verbalizing to the Lord where we are “at” the good…the bad…and the ugly…true honesty of what is on our plate right now. And just…here it is Lord… Here I am Lord… I do not know what to do…I am “stuck” here…What would YOU have me do next? What would you like me to know now? Where do I go from here? This is where the healing and transformation begins…
When we realize surrender is not about us doing, but of HIM taking the load, and replacing it peace, love, grace, abundance…we are set free!
If you are struggling with something…I would highly recommend to pencil in a date with the Lord…preferably away from your normal life..maybe the beach…the park…on a hike…or wherever you can just be real with the Lord…And just begin the conversation. Here I am Lord…this is where I am “at” right now…with all honesty and truth…the Lord want us to say it like it is. Even if your feelings right now do not align themselves with Gods will…there is nothing wrong with saying this is how I feel. He is your BEST friend, and beginning this kind of friendship…an amazing confident…will change your faith and your spirit will begin to soar in directions you never thought possible.
His holy spirit is truly the BEST gift we could have or want in this life. We are part of the Church Age! And we are SO fortunate to have this gift of the guiding spirit in each of us…AMEN!
