Living a surrendered Life..

"God turns our despair into hope, when through God we now cope,

With all our concerns in this life, through the spirit of Jesus Christ,

Filling us with a new found peace, that in dark times will not cease,

As a stable life The Lord renders, when the soul to God surrenders."

By Bob Gotti

A positive aspect, to approach  a difficult situation with; a ray of hope will always bring success.  If God, is in control of all situation, who are we to hang over, with the outcome. Covid-19, storms, diseases are; not at all big. Consider God, who is the biggest of our problems.  

Few days back, because of the lockdown, God gave me ample of time, to read scripture, pray and seek his face. I learnt one thing which I like to share. I surrendered, everything at His feet. Oh! the peace, I was left over with, was great.

Surrender means, to give up or hand over, that can be your life, possession, territory, kingdom, etc. Releasing, your authority to His feet.It is a little difficult job, to surrender... our, our personnel things, our wanted desires, But; have you ever thought..nothing in this life is yours, and mine. We are just care takers, of God the 'most high'. Have, you ever imagined, that you cannot take, even a handful of soil, in your fist from here. Everything, belongs to Him. It's written in Ps, 50: 10 " For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills."

Till today, human, was thinking that, man has a capability to reach till the level of the supreme power. 2-3 months back, I saw a video clip, of huge, big very big sophisticated, building and monuments made by China, Japan and many foreign countries. They, needed only few months to reach their ladder to the sky.  And see, within few months God, revealed it to us. As, written in Col 1:16, " For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:"

People might think,  you are defeated, weak, a failure good for nothing, so you are, surrendering. Yes; this is what God, wants from each of us. God, wants us to be humble, and have a faithful commitment to Him. He expects, something from us, which should be discerned by each individual. Most, people think surrendering is to give your family, loved ones, or possessions, and go behind "Jesus".  It is not like that our Lord cares for you, your family, loves and protects them. Why? will such a loving Father, tell you to leave and submit at His feet.

When you are married, you commit and submit, everything to your husband, or wife because you trust him or her, and you know a valid decision will be taken. So, is it with surrender more than commitment.  To love Him, and trust Him and follow His commands, is what He wants. To, grow in His likeness.

Make Him your copilot, and hand over, the keys. He will lead you, and navigate you through smooth roads of your destination. Times, when you have lost  the signal, or there is a storm, or hurricane He, is in to control. 'Jesus' wants you to trust Him and give your family and loved ones in His hands  He, will care better for them.

Such, a surrendered  life can be seen, in Abraham's life. He obeyed, the command of God and, sacrificed his son. God, was pleased, and He strengthened Abraham to carry out God's plan. 'Jesus' to surrendered Hs life, to the will of God the father. He, became a living sacrifice for; you and me, our redeemer. You and me are bought with, a price. There, is freedom, joy and peace in surrendering. Let's take off our hands from, the steering wheel and hand over the keys. Trust Him, love Him, and relax in your drive.

If this article has been a blessing to you and enlightened you, please do share with them, Let us all together surrender our future victory and find solace. God bless you all.

Thanks
