SURRENDER IS NOT FOR WIMPS!

Before we can give God the broken pieces, we must first asks ourselves, "Do I believe God can put my life back together again?" In Mark 9, a father grieves as he stands by his son who is possessed by a evil spirit. This dad, with nowhere else to turn, asked Jesus, "IF YOU CAN do anything, please help us." Jesus quickly rebuked the man, "You should not say IF I CAN, this shows that you do not trust me". (Jesus was suggesting that the man had doubt). The father then cried, "I DO BELIEVE! Help me to overcome my unbelief!" This is where I have found myself many times. I trust Jesus, but not enough to trust Him completely, I was a doubter. So started "My Journey Finding God". The answer was not an easy one - SURRENDER. "Here I am God, I give all of me to you. The good, bad, and ugly." I found out that this is not for wimps. Genuine surrender says, "Father, if this problem, sickness, or circumstance is needed to fulfill your purpose in my life or in another's life, please don't take it away!" It is important to know that complete SURRENDER TO GOD is a process and it takes time.
