Along the way I’ve finally—after much resistance, reluctance, and multiple failures—discovered the benefits and outlandish blessings that accompany full and complete surrender to God.
There is a freedom in letting go, in releasing the heavy burden of facing this battle alone, in continually trying to figuring it all out on my own, in planning my ...life down to the last detail; yes, there is a blissful freedom in giving my life fully over to the One Who holds all the answers—God. It is only when I put my full trust in God—giving myself body, mind, and soul over to Him—that I experience this euphoric freedom.
Sadly, I daily struggle with leaving it all in God’s hands; even after experiencing the inescapable evidence of Him working in my life, I still find myself holding on to my selfish, little plans. Even after experiencing His mercy and grace in my life and enjoying the relief that comes with full surrender, even then, I still stubbornly insist on grabbing for the reigns of my life; even then, I struggle down the path of complete surrender to God.
The beautiful truth is this: If I will fully surrender my life to God, He will begin an eternal transformation in me—a transformation that will mold me into a reflection of Him.
So join me as I revel in the freedom of full surrender, allowing God to become the foundation of my life, allowing Him to transform me into His image.
Final Thought: It is only when I fully surrender to God that I experience true freedom.
