Brave Surrender

“Can you let go, My child? Do you trust Me? Can you lean on Me? Can you leave fear behind? Can you say goodbye to the past? Can you let go of pride? Can you release worry and doubt? Can you let Me carry your grief? Can we break down the walls? Can you let the pain fall at my feet? Can you open your hands for Me? Will you allow Me to gather the broken pieces and begin the healing process? Will you let My Scars heal your scars?”

For me, surrender is a daily choice. A choice where I say—I give my life, my relationships, my pain, I give my ALL to You today, Jesus. And today, if I fail, shower me with unfailing grace. Help me again tomorrow. Help me to open my hands. Help me to say, “Less of me. More of You. Make something beautiful out of the things that don’t make sense. Give me strength to fight the battles. Help me to throw my fears in the wind, to pick up my faith and sprint towards You.”

“I lean not on my own understanding. My life is in the hands of the maker of heaven. I give it all to You, God, trusting that You’ll make something beautiful out of me. I will climb this mountain with my hands wide open. There’s NOTHING I hold onto.”

Psalm 54: 6-7 “Lord I will offer myself freely, and everything I am I give to You. I will worship and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is precious to me. Through You I am saved—rescued from every trouble.”

In surrender—it often feels like losing control. But it’s the exact opposite. It’s in brave surrender to God, you gain. It’s in the, “I trust You Jesus to do with my life and my pain whatever You want” that allows God to use us in a way we could have never dreamt or imagined.

So give it all to Him. Climb the mountain with your hands wide open. Open our hands, God! Make something beautiful out of the broken
