I Surrender All (at least I want too)
Hello all, It has been a long time since I've posted a blog. It's been a little crazy around here. To all you who came along on Sunday to Urbana, thank you for coming with us we enjoyed having you along.
Now on with the post. If you have been paying attention, lately we have been hearing a lot about surrendering. A few weeks ago I was reading in 1 corinthians, and I was reading where it was talking about our resurrected bodies. As I read verse 36 (in chapter 15), it hit me that this can not only be applied to our resurrected bodies but also our lives and all that we do here on this earth. It says,
You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
What this said to me was that unless I die to myself, the things that God want to do in my life will not be able to come to life. I need to die to MY way of doing thing, the things I want to do, when I want to do them. Completely surrendered! And as we surrender more and more to Him the more that we can grow, and become who He intended us to be. This is something that is a daily thing. We are faced with choices everyday, how we spend our free time, places we go, things we do, who we hang out with, things we say, how we respond to things, the list could go on and on, and this is all in one day! When we die to ourselves in all these areas, what Jesus would have us do will come forth. And that is for sure the better option. So continue to surrender to the Lord everyday, all day.
