We have an almighty Father, the Lord of all creation, and he is calling us. He wants everyone, you and me, to come as we are to share in His eternal life. He calls us waiting for us to surrender everything to Him. Our sin, burdening weight, hurt and pain, our whole life, he wants it all. Surrendering everything to Him allows us to be free, to live free lives as we follow on His everlasting path.
But I trust in you, Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
My times are in your hands;
deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.
Let your face shine on your servant;
save me in your unfailing love.
-Psalm 31:14-16
When we call on our God and surrender to Him, He will save us in His love. We become servants to His word and are only asked to trust in Him an share of his life. Surrendering all to the Lord is easy, and once you have the courage to believe and trust in the word of God, He will take you. Have faith in Him.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
-Psalm 103:2-5
God saves. Sickness, depression, hurt, pain, sin, these are all things God can free us from. Those who have faith and trust in the Lord are relieved of all sin and burden. God sent His only Son to die on a cross so that we may live. We have been brought from death to life. He was sent to save all who surrender.
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
-Mark 8:34-35
God does not want us to ask for a saved life. God is calling us to crave Him and His word. When we follow in Him and declare ourselves as a disciple of the Lord, then we will be saved. We are all called to be a disciple of the Lord, practicing the gospel and spreading His good wherever we go. Through faith and supplication, we will be changed, submerging your live in Christ will ultimately save you, not the desire to be saved.
But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.
-Psalm 52:8-9
God created every person for a purpose. We are all different, beautiful, and wise. But only when we give our lives to Him will we flourish to our full potential. Then we will flourish like the olive tree. A tree beauty, health, color, fruitfulness, and strength. Learning to trust in our God, will make us the most beautiful and kind person we could ever be. He shapes and molds us to be of His will, because as a creation in God, we are the most precious with Him.
So it’s time to let the Lord take our lives and cleanse us of the dirt this world has thrown at us. When we allow ourselves to fall into His love and out of our selfishness, we will be free. Free to follow on His path of righteousness, and live a free life. So let go of your life, and let God take control.
Sincerely,
A girl whose passion is in the Lord.
