surrender
So this wednesday, Matt Gonzalez talked about surrendering. It has made me realize throughout this week, that I really haven't surrendered myself FULLY to God. I would give some of me to him but not ALL of him. I would of just kind of try to lift the cross instead of fully carrying it on my back , you see what I mean? People always say , just give it all to God, so happily and cheerfully, but I have realized that though giving it up all to God and surrendering yourself to him is rewarding it can also be a very painful thing. We think we know what we want even though we know that God isn't very happy with it , or just that were not giving it to him. Being a follower of Christ is not easy and can be painful. You give up things you love, you make sacrifices because sometimes those things that you love get in the way of your walk with the Lord. I am realizing how much I need God and how that I need to surrender to him FULLY, not just little parts of me. My body and my soul are no longer mine but Christ and I will take up my cross and follow him even if I have to put my desires aside.
