That surrendering to the Lord and giving Him my life is Actually Letting Go.
It means daily talking with my Father honestly about how I need Him...not trying to make it myself. Striving to have it together in front of Jesus.
There is no facade needed, in fact... a lukewarm appearance the Lord despises.
He wants my heart, my pure abandon...
my raw reality, one that is broken and in need of repair daily. One that is often found to be weak and proud at the same time.
One that needs discipline and gentle care, oh how can I be under any illusion that I could satisfy these things my own way!
Oh Jesus awaken my heart to my true need of You.
Oh, the peace of pure abandon;
Oh, the joy of sweet surrender
This is true life
Life is found in the letting go
In the laying down. Your joy, Your peace is found.
Joy is found in the tearing of the heart .
As a side. Please pray for my health. I've been out of school for the past week with a super gross cold. I have other health stuff going on too. So please pray for a deliverance from sickness, but also a motivation even as I am sick to complete the work school is sending out... I don't want to be lazy, but also do need to rest, so join with me in asking that the Lord would instil a balanced heart and mind in me.
Thanks to the Lord:
He is doing great work in our church. Slow but steadily The Holy Spirit is really bringing fire to our hearts.
Pray for more. Pray that my Dad would be encouraged as He leads.. that the Spirit would burn fiercely in His heart to deliver leadership founded in the word of God and looking to Jesus.
Thankyou Friends
