I Surrender

I’ve come to accept, the more I Surrender, the more I see God’s signature on my life’s foot prints.

And I find my best decisions, don’t come with a lot of overthinking, but with a humble obedience…

A surrender of my will…to His.

It really comes down to being that simple. It’s true. I used to mistake Procrastination for Preparation. But at some point, thank God, I found that delayed obedience was actually disobedience.

At least with me, when God speaks, He doesn’t waste words. He’ll remind my heart what to do, then in all my debating Him in my thoughts… I hear silence! It’s sad to say it took this long in my life for me to realize…To just obey, is the greatest blessing I could give myself (and my family).

Deception will try to find a way into many decisions we make. It says things like, “Whatever you give up, you’ll never get back.” “You worked so hard to get where you are, don’t let go of everything for something that’s just an idea.”

Oh…those voices in our head

My wife and I can testify that ANYTHING we surrendered to God, He’s given back in ways that are immeasurable. This post would become a book, if I wrote down each example. And I’m embarrassed and broken to admit that for two thirds of my life, I debated, disobeyed, delayed and disagreed with my Heavenly Father. If He impressed upon my heart to forgive someone, I didn’t. When I felt the tug to help someone in need, I delayed.

I was blessed to have a very loving dad, and it hurt me deeply if I ever let him down. But how could I disobey a Loving Heavenly Father, and it not hurt me just as deep?

I was Deceived, to not feel as deep.

But, thankfully now, I sense my Destination, is waiting on the other side of obedience…on the other side of Surrender.
