WHEN GOD CALLS YOU TO SURRENDER YOUR DEEPEST DESIRE
There are many people who are ignoring the nudges that God places on their heart. They will never know what it is like to surrender all of their life. But, then there are some that seek to surrender what God wants of us. We simply care more.
There are some things that only hurt a little when they are surrendered. They are not things that affect us too much. Then there are other things that we feel will take a piece of our hearts if we give them up. And they will and that is exactly what God requires of us, all of our hearts.
What about the mother who wants their children to follow in their footsteps? They have planned and prodded for that child to be interested in the things that they want. But God keeps whispering, let it go. Learn to be happy and accept them for how I created them. It will turn out better, I promise. But still, because we think our happiness is linked to that thing, we still try to make things our way.
What about the woman who longs to be married but God requires them to focus on improving themselves before? Well, you may wonder, what about the other people who were messed up and got saved by that man. That was them, this is you.
What about the person who wants to badly to be promoted, but it just doesn’t happen. The door keeps closing over and over again. The scenarios could be endless because we are all different. There may be a deep desire in your life but it just isn’t happening. God may require you to completely lay that thing down and not pick it up again.
The biggest things that we desire he wants full access to. Because we care so much about it, he cares even more about it. He doesn’t want our hands on it because he gets so excited thinking what he can do if we let him. He wants to be the orchestra tor because what he has planned is more wonderful than what we have even asked him for. (Ephesians 3:20)
HE gets excited thinking about us opening our gift, the gift that we didn’t buy. He gets excited that we will ask him, how did you do this? How did you afford this? I had no idea. I didn’t even think this was possible. Thank you so much.
He gets joy out of seeing his children get what they truly wanted. And sometimes we think we know what we truly want, but he knows that only he has the blueprint of your heart. IT is so intricately designed that only he could get it right.
So today if there is a part of your life that you know you need to surrender completely over, not worry about it, not stress about it, just let it be and believe that God will do it..don’t be afraid. He is not requiring that of you for any other reason than he thinks that only he knows what is best for you.
So instead of choosing worry, holding on so tightly to something that keeps evaporating into thin air, try something different. Try to trust him completely. Not just a little bit this time, but all the way. Choose that beforehand if it comes back to your anxious mind, that you will say no God’s got this. I gave it to him. I’m not going to worry about it.
This place that he wants you to surrender needs to be completely given up. It needs to die. IT needs to no longer be you. HE needs to emerge having completely provided and supplied for it. The reason that you are at a place where you need to surrender it is because you have lived in the flesh in this area. You have been guided by worry, defeat, fears, sin, wrong thoughts, memories of the past, instead of guided by joy, peace, love, trust, and faith.
It is time to surrender and set a new standard for this area of your life. This area of your life is surrendered to God. This area of your life is lead by the Holy Spirit and nothing is going to change that. This area is blessed by the Holy Spirit because God is the one who is navigating the waters.
