Give, give it all, surrender it all. I surrender all to Jesus. I surrender my life, my thoughts, my dreams. I surrender me. Have we fully surrendered everything to God? I know we sing those songs and we say those things but are we truly giving Him our all?
God wants all. He wants it all today. He wants us to give Him our desires, our pain, our thoughts and our entire beings. He wants us for Himself. I don't think that's wrong since He's the One who created us.
Giving God all, is trusting Him. Trusting that He is more than able to solve the situation that we are in, trusting that He is more than able to provide for all of our needs and trusting that He will give us the desires of our hearts.
Give it all to Him, the One whose burden is light and whose yoke is easy. Give it all to Him, release every care and every worry. God has not created us to carry baggage and burdens. He created us so that we can be free from all oppression and be able to live this life and to live it more abundantly.
What is it today that you haven't given Him? What is it that you are holding onto? What is it that can make you free today if you would just give it to Him.
Give it all to Him.

Hi there Tricia, I'm linking up from FMF. I'm also from the Caribbean {Trinidad to be exact}. Your piece is lovely...easier said than done "giving it all to God" but so worth the effort isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for visiting!! It's so nice to meet another Caribbean person. I'm actually from Barbados so we're not that far apart!
DeleteSo needed to read this today. Thank you. Loved the lines, "God has not created us to carry baggage and burdens. He created us so that we can be free from all oppression and be able to live this life and to live it more abundantly". I am trying - trying - trying - to live in this manner but it is hard! [I need more practice]......loved the song, also. Beautiful. Thank you, a fellow FMF-er
ReplyDeleteYour welcome!! It will be hard, life is hard all together but the good thing is that we are not alone and we have friends and family to encourage us on.
