My full surrender to God blog post
Surrendering to God blog post

Growing up, I honestly cannot say that I heard much about surrender to God. I knew that in giving your life to Jesus and taking Him in as your Lord and Savior there was an element of surrender in that. But I never fully knew surrender- surrendering your life, your heart, your hopes, your dreams, your actions. I never knew that that was a thing let alone a requirement of us as Christians. 


Throughout these past couple of years I’ve been on a journey of growing closer to the Lord. I found it sweet at the beginning. I was so joyful at the thought of getting closer to Him, maybe because it sounded good and it felt right in my heart. Don’t get me wrong I am still as joyful as can be about my Father, but I never knew surrender. As I started getting closer to Him, I found myself on a road where the way was getting narrower and the requirements holier. It's like starting on a road trip on one road and the GPS redirects you and takes you a different way; still the same destination but not a path you knew before. I never knew that I would have to lay down so much in my pursuit of God. 


Some things were easy to lay down and some things not so much. In particular, I have really been struggling with answering the call. And not just answering the call in saying yes but the full surrender that comes with answering the call; being seen for Jesus and vocalizing the Gospel at the moment He tugs on your heart to. I’ve never been one who cared to be seen. I am typically the quietest in the room and I will gladly find a corner to sit in. But I’ve felt a stirring that the requirements of my walk with God don’t match my comfortability of hiding in a corner. 


So here is my yes- my full yes. My surrender to God to be willing and obedient to what He asks of me. To lay down my hopes and desires and to pursue Him fully knowing that all of my hopes will be met in Him and through Him. This blog is a piece of that. A piece of my time spent with Jesus and the Father poured out through words. I am surrendering it all.
