Life is a gift

I was prostrate behind the altar at my church sobbing. When I looked up, I could see the tabernacle and above that was Jesus on the crucifix.
I was feeling beaten. Chained by expectation. Alone. Filled with pain and weary from the weight... I surrendered.

Since that day I’ve surrendered daily. Not in the dramatic fashion of that particular day but in varying degrees. Letting go of negativity and judgment. Giving God the opportunity to work, to lead me and guide me. I completely opened up my heart, left all my hurt, frustration and other things that weighed me down right there at the altar, at the feet of Jesus.

The letting go allows room for the gifts of the Holy Spirit...right judgement, courage, understanding, knowledge, fortitude, reverence and wisdom to work in your life.
Surrender and open yourself up to the abundance of God!
