We sing the songs, and we make promises to God, telling Him that He can have our all. For many, giving your time, money, talents and Sundays to God is the easy part. But what about your thoughts, your ideals, your ways, your very comforts. It is so hard in this independent, self sufficient, western way, to fully submit to Jesus's way. We hold onto our strengths, natural abilities and ideologies. God wants to do a new kind of work in our heart. He wants you to fully understand what it means to be His child and live an abundant life. To walk by faith and not by sight. To trust Him, even when things don't seem to make sense, or fit into the box we have tried to put God in. To fully surrender to God, we must DIE to our old selves and take on a new identity through Jesus. This is a daily death, for some hourly or minute by minute. We were given a heart, soul and mind to be used for the Glory of God. We are not robots, controlled by a mean dictator. We are held in the hands of a gentle, loving Father who will never force us to walk in absolute freedom. But the Father's Delight is that we do!! Who doesn't want to delight the Father and walk more freely in an enslaved world.
Please feel free to reach out to us for prayer to let us know what God is doing in your Journey
