What Are You Surrendering?

What are you surrendering?   We sing the song all the time ...."I Surrender All".   We say all to thee my blessed Savior, I surrender all.   But are you really surrendering?   Or should I say, are you even willing to surrender?  The lifestyle that you know doesn't line up with God.   The talk that you know doesn't line up with God.   The relationships that you know don't line up with God.   Are you really ready to surrender all?  God is looking for complete surrender.   He is not looking for you to hold a garbage bag behind your back and fill it with all the junk you want to keep in your life.   He wants it all.     

We want to worship, we want to speak, we want to do all the right things.   But desire is not enough.   We have to make a choice.   God has given us the choice to make the right decisions.   The choice to "let go and let God".  

What is it you want God to see when He looks into your heart?  Do you want Him to see wrong desires?   Do you want Him to see lying....cheating...fornication...gossiping...pride... arrogance?   We try to impress people around us all the time.   What impression do you want God to have of you?

Take a moment to edify someone else.    God just put another question in my heart for everyone...."What is the significance of your praise?"  The meaning, importance, end, or purpose behind YOU praising God.   Click the comments link at the bottom of this post to leave your response....you never know, someone may need to hear what you have to say.   Remember the purpose of a "vessel" is to be filled and then poured out.  A "vessel" can be defined as a person regarded as a holder or receiver of something.   It's all about pouring out what God has placed on the inside of you.....so He can refill and use you again.
