Surrender

Oftentimes, I find that the Christian life is more of surrender, than strength.

If I let go of control and self-preoccupation to let you take care of me, protect, provide, love me, will you? Will you love me as much as I need to be loved?

And can I believe it? That you know even more than I the things that will care for me . . . and above that, that you DESIRE to care for me?

I believe it.

You are God, and letting go frees me up to love you, and to give you all the glory. You will take care of me and love me. And you do. And you will take care of your glory too. I can let go.

Here, I let go a little. Help me to let go all the way.

Sweet surrender.

Luke 12:22-33
". . . If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? . . . . your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you."
