I was listening to a song the other day...when I heard the line (that I've heard a million times but never really thought about), "I'm giving my life to the only One who gave me hope when I had none," I froze. I gave my life to Christ when I was 10 years old, and it was the greatest day of my life. But, when I heard that line it made me cringe because sometimes I don't "let go" like I should...I try to keep control of my life, when in reality, that control belongs to God. Sometimes, I forget that when I gave my life to Christ, I surrendered to Him...I gave up the control that I thought I had. Something tells me I'm not alone in this. And something told me to write about this tonight.
Maybe you are dealing with what seems to be a hopeless situation in your life...
Maybe you are struggling with a health problem that has become your new reality...
Maybe you are having a difficult time knowing what God has called you to do with your life...
Maybe you are afraid of a change that will be difficult for you and those you are close to...
Maybe you are weeping because someone you know is hurting...
Maybe you are frustrated because it seems no matter how hard you try, nothing changes...
Maybe you are hurt because someone you love said some very hurtful things to you...
Maybe you are stuck and it feels like you are just going through the motions of your life...
Maybe you are Homesick and longing to be in the arms of Jesus...
I don't know what it is you are dealing with. I know what I am dealing with...and my prayer is that we might let go...and let God handle whatever it is we are facing. May we realize that God is in complete and total control...and no matter how hard it seems now, it'll all be worth it in the end.
So, I'm giving my life to the only One who has all the control even in the midst of difficult things. And I'm letting go. And letting God.
