You know something?
My God is faithful.
Through all the times
my life has been out of control.
All I wanted and
dreamed of was to control it. He stood there, pleading look in His eyes. He
never forced me to surrender.
All the times when I
thought my way was best. I wanted to choose for my life, everything from my
shoes to my mission field. His pleading eyes looked on.
The times when the
pain of rejection, the fear of the unknown, the stress of the present, were
more than I could bear. He remained by my side.
And you know
something?
It is rubbing off.
He never forced me to
surrender. But the love in His pleading eyes has done it’s work.
I choose not to
choose for myself. He knows best. Every time I’ve given Him an inch to work,
He’s proven that His way can never hurt me. There is no loss with Him.
And now I am learning
to rest in Him. I do not want to move without His smile. In fact, I refuse to
do otherwise. I don’t want Him to fill my lack; I want Him to be my all.
And I ask you to
consider it.
“Mission work” may
occupy your time. You may spend your days reading His word. Feed the hungry,
clothe the naked… these you may do.
But you’ve never
tasted Life until you’ve held nothing back, reserved none of self.
I will not wait any
longer. I’ve surrendered – God help me never go back on it.
Please join me. It’s
worth it all the way.
Absolute amen to that.
