Why is it that we fight so hard the sweet release we feel once we surrender? Why is it that we so very much fight to hang on to the things we know we need to surrender? especially when we have been down the trail to surrender and found it to be such a sweet sweet place and the joy of freedom we find on on the other side has no equal does it?
After my long battle with trying to maintain some small grasp of control of my life, last Sunday I finally gave in and surrendered it all to God. I went forward at church and requested prayer from the pastor regarding me getting actively involved in the ministry God would place me in at this church. Then made the phone calls I needed to make to be obedient to Gods direction to pull out of things I had no business being committed to. (good things, just not things God wants me to focus on right now) Then this afternoon I had a long conversation with the pastor at my new church. I shared my testimony with him and some of the highlights of the ministries I have been involved in over the past few years and some of the things God has done in my life. He was quite interested and wants to continue the conversation soon. I have told him to please be in prayer regarding where I might be able to serve the congregation. I told him I am there because I believe that is where God wants me to be and that I am wiling to serve where He believes I can best be of assistance to the church body.
I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful sweet feeling it was to finally take that step and be willing to do whatever it is that God would have me do here at this church.
So again I ask why is it that we fight so hard letting go and surrendering to the will of God in our lives?
