Mastering Surrender

By surrendering,

the burdens grow lighter. Yielding to His will is a skill to master in life; you can’t immediately say that you are mastering it already. You learn to do it every day, day by day, moment by moment.. minute by minute.

By holding things loosely, you learn to release control, realizing that you don’t govern your life entirely. The One who created you holds everything in the palms of His hands — your past, your present, and your tomorrows.

It’s about breaking down the solid foundation of your own expectations and laying everything down at His feet. Not that your dreams are wrong, but knowing His ways are higher, His plans far exceed what your mind can fathom.

It’s about being still and knowing He is God, your Father, who loves you and knows what’s best for you. It’s about letting go of what you cherish most in order to love Him more, refocusing on the One who is faithful, who never lets go, even when you try to hide or run; He’s there.

Surrendering means fully trusting in Him, not in your own strength, but solely in Him. And when you do, He stands ready to pour out everything, opening impossible doors, proving to you that

He is more than able.
