Surrender

Tuesday, December 15, 2020

"Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength." St. Philip Neri

In other words, surrender to God.

What are you unwilling to let go of?

For me, it is hard to surrender to God's timing.

I want to make my own plans of when and what should happen.

But then I always realize I need to surrender my ways to His ways.

"If we aren't willing to surrender our desires and needs to God, we'll become convinced that the only way we can be happy is to have those desires and needs satisfied. This places us on very shaky ground. Our circumstances will always be subject to change, and as a result, our happiness will rise and fall. But when we submit our will to God's, when we want what He wants, we can receive anything from His hand as a gift. " Keeping in Balance

Be open to His embrace and the plans He has for you.

Surrender to receive the gifts He wants to give you.

Trust that He will strengthen and guide you.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
