Living in him Surrendering all to God

Looking again at living and moving in God, as well as praying and reading our bibles, we need to surrender to God. When we become christians we are new creations amen! Our pasts are forgiven , all our sins are washed away! But we need to change our lives and live as new creations and beings and a part of this is surrendering ourselves to God. I read in Luke 18 about the rich young ruler who had everything and was a good man, he missed the most important thing tho, he wasn't prepared to give anything up for Jesus.

When I first came back to God, I found it hard to let go of my hurts and bitterness, and to forgive those that had hurt me. This I needed to do to move on in my relationship with God. It's not just about our services and belongings, its our thoughts and our mind, our hurts, our frustrations and worries. We sing sometimes in our church, "your eye is on the sparrow and your hand it comforts me, from the ends of the earth to the depths of my heart, let your mercy and strength be seen". His eyes can see everything and he knows everything about us and he wants us to hand over all to him. Not sure of where it says in the bible, but it says that we must cast all our cares upon him, lay our burdens at his feet. God deserves our all, no holding back, after what he's done for us, the ultimate sacrifice, how can we not surrender all to him.

1 John 8 v 12 says, I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. We have the light of life, he is our life, he's my life without him I am nothing. I can't even begin to imagine life without my savior!! He is my hope, my strength, my peace, my joy, just knowing I have him in my heart, to talk to whenever, that he's in control of everything, that he loves me with no conditions or strings attatched. He loves me just as I am, just me, lil old sinner me and I am a sinner and I know that and I let him down daily. But I ask his forgiveness daily and I talk to him daily and read his word and just try (strive) to do my best for him.

I want to do more I want to tell people abut him and it's so hard!! In our house groups we're doing a new series about reaching the lost and telling others about God. I'm really exited about this programme and I pray that opportunities will come my way to share his love! This is why I wanna do my blog, to share my thoughts, about me and what I believe, to show others what God has done for me.

Went off on a tangent there (lol) I do that often hehe. God knows my heart! 2 more scriptures to finish, Mathew 16 v 24. If any man comes after me, let him deny himself and follow me, If we lose our life in Christ, we will find life. Amen!! I have found life, I need to deny myself and my selfish desires more and do what God wants and has planned for my life.

Hebrews 12 v 9, Moreoever, we have all had human fathers, who have disciplined us and we have respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the father of our spirits and lives. Submit handover surrender all to God, another step closer to really living and moving in him. Hey I'm getting there. Amen!!
