Meditations on "Surrender"

When we say we have given our will and life over to the care of God, what does that mean to us? It means that in every situation we may encounter we have decided that we will obey the principles God has established for the guidance of our behaviour.

When our hearts are surrendered to God, we will desire to choose God’s way rather that our own flawed way.

God's Word gives us clear instructions, so we can determine how our way of living lines up with His directions

This new life we have been given begins each new day. Yesterday’s mistakes, blunders, worries and the resulting pain are all behind us. We are unable to change what has been said or done. We need to admit that, repent, turn away from the evil things we have done, and let go of the pain of those harmful things done to us. We need to turn to God who promises us a season of refreshing.

As we live in His will, we discover that whatever the cause of our anxiety, God is available to help us face any issues head on and overcome the challenges they may bring.

“Street smarts” took us to a dead-end on the road of life. Applying God’s wisdom will bring us to a full and satisfying life.

While some may think that expressing anger is a sign of strength, it is actually allowing our weakness to show. For us to get well we need to learn new ways to handle stress or fearful circumstances.

As long as we are living and breathing there is still hope because God continues to invite us to a new life with Him.

If we find it hard to love those around us, let’s ask God to fill us with His love and goodness, so we can love others as He loves us.

Real change happens for us when we don’t just get to know God’s will but actually put it into practice.

When stressful situations come our way, the best way forward is to make a conscious effort to turn to God and seek His help.

It’s time to confess that we cannot do life on our own and seek God to help us change our ways.
