Total Surrender
What on earth is total surrender? Surrendering ourselves to God? Opening ourselves in front of him? Or saying I'm your thrall/slave/zombie, my lord, u ask me to die, i shall die for u.
Hmm, I just guess it's a mix of all this factors. Hmmm, but wait there is a difference here, our god does not want us to be his thrall/slave/zombie, he calls us his sons and daughters. And what do children do, they obey their parents haha.
And obey we must, for as certainly as our God can see, what we view as good for the time being might not necessarily be good for us in the long run. But ultimately our god being omniscience, sees ahead of our future, and he knows what our current decisions will lead on to.
Ultimately, which parent would give his child a snake when he asked for a fish, which parent would give his child stones when he asked for a loaf of bread? For as our parents love us, God loves us too, and he asks that we listen to him and obey him, for his plans are not for us to falter, but for us to prosper. That would be the call and reason to surrender, to offer our lives, to seek him first and place him first in our hearts, to seek ye first the kingdom of god, and not to put our studies, our career, our family in first place. For when we put god as the centre of our hearts, we gain his favour, and we gain blessings upon those whom we decided as second priority and forth.
The decision to give up all that we have is a tough decision. We are bound physically and emotionally to the things that we have, and we are unwilling to let them all go. Things like our family, our friends, our girlfriends/boyfriends, spouses. But the lord calls us to put these all aside, and to listen to his will and to trust in him. For he truely knows best what is best for us, so many of us are focused on the gifts and not on the giver who have many more plans for the person who recieves these gifts. And we are so constraint that we can never fully realised about the plans that he has for us. Plans to use us to bring others closer to him, plans to draw people into his love, plans to stop wars and to create peace and universal brotherhood, plans to bring HEAVEN down to earth.
My brothers and sisters who read this, everytime we say the our father, have we stop to check on the meaning of the words?
At the Our father, we said that your will be done, everytime we say the prayer is this really in our hearts?
God's blessing be upon all of you my brothers and sisters Amen!!!
