Surrender All

Surrender. This is thought to be a weakness in the eyes of the world. You surrender to give up, give in and release power. This is a world’s view. In God’s eyes, to surrender is a good thing. I say, it is one of the hardest, yet one of the BEST things to do!

I cannot tell you the exact date but I can remember the view, the day I surrendered my life to God. Prior to that moment, I was a faithful person, living faithfully and doing all I could but I was making the choices and leading my life. I was laying flat on the ground looking up to the crucifix at my church. Literally laying on the carpet…I still can feel the fabric on my body. It was a moment of time I will NEVER regret.

That is not a typo…I will never regret that moment, nor will I ever forget! I won’t regret any of the experiences that got me to that moment of surrender either. It was because of those experiences that got me to the moment of surrender in the first place. It was through those moments that I came to know God intimately.

Since that day, I’ve worked to remain in the place of surrender, non-resistance to God’s call, and try to submit to God completely. This is a tall order and I struggle sometimes by allowing my ego to get in the way or letting someone else make my decisions for me, but my goal is to submit to God. I do this because I know God has my best interests at heart. I do this because I trust God implicitly. 100%
