Lord I Give You My Heart!

As I awake this morning the chorus to this song is on my heart. I give you my heart, I give you my soul, Lord have your way with me. Every step that I take every move that I make Lord have your way with me. 

Total surrender to God's ways. Not my will, but yours be done. A freeing way to live by letting go of preconceived outcomes, willing, open, flexible and adaptable. As I write these adjectives they also remind me of some of the adds posted for international schools. Now on the heels of finishing my second year abroad I better understand what that really means!:-) However, with God it is totally different. He loves us more than we can imagine and is working all things to our good!

When we understand God has a divine plan for our lives and that he made us for a purpose, why would we not ask him to show us the way? We can struggle, get lost, discouraged, get in trouble, all while he is there waiting, watching, willing to help. Loving us with an open hand, just waiting for us to ask, surrender. Are we asking, are we willing to trust him? What would our actions say about our beliefs?

Once we understand that God is on our side, that he loves us more than we can imagine and he is the Creator of the universe, why would we not ask?

As children of God we have the privilege of a relationship with the Creator of the world. We are blessed, forgiven, protected, encouraged and free to live a life that is holy without spot or blemish because he loves us! That my friends should melt our hearts! How can we not love God, when he first loved us and is willing to show us daily just how much, if we ask him. Total surrender to our Creator.....
