Good morning.
Giving absolute power over our lives to another human being is an intimidating proposition. But that’s not true when it comes to the Lord. Unconditional surrender to Him is joyous.
But to do so, we need to
• Yield ourselves to the lordship of Christ. We identify with the Lord is by surrendering totally to Him. And the first place surrender must occur is in our attitude. Then we live it out in obedient action. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)
• Have no restricted areas in our life where Jesus is not invited. Also, nothing is set aside for our exclusive use. We make ourselves totally available to God’s will.
• Transfer ownership of our body, soul, and spirit to Christ. Relinquishing control of our life can feel scary, but when we put it fully in God’s hands, only good can result.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." (Romans 12:1)
We can fully trust the Lord because He is fully trustworthy.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
