‘If you want to know how real you are, test
yourself by these words— “Come to Me . . . .” In every dimension in which you
are not real, you will argue or evade the issue altogether rather than come;
you will go through sorrow rather than come; and you will do anything rather
than come the last lap of the race of seemingly unspeakable foolishness and
say, “Just as I am, I come.”’ CHAMBERS
Why is it that we resist surrender to God. There are aspects of our lives that we hold on
to. We don’t trust anyone with them ..
not even God. It is that very thing that
God wants you to lay down. To release
from the death grip you have on it. Why
can’t we do it? It is a trust problem .. a love problem .. When you read the Bible there
are many verses that we can acknowledge mentally as being right … but when it
reaches our heart … it doesn’t go any farther.
We can love God with our actions, with our intellect, but when God wants
those things that are in the recesses of our hearts .. those things that define
us .. that make us feel safe … we just can’t seem to do it. The rich young
ruler was doing everything by the Book .. except for one thing … He could not
give up his wealth .. the very thing that defined him … The thing he depended upon more than God. You are not hiding
anything from God … So what is it that you cling to … lay it down.
“Lord you have my heart and I will search for
yours. Jesus take my life and lead me on.
Let me be to you a sacrifice. And
I will praise you Lord And I will sing
---- of-love come down And as you show your face We'll see your glory here”
