Surrender to Him

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to live in freedom.”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭26‬:‭13‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Quite frankly I find that doing things with Christ has made things that I once struggled with so much easier. I think it’s easy to put God in a box and think we can figure it out all on our own. Yet when we lay everything down at the feet of our Lord and fully surrender to Him, we can have this huge weight on our shoulders removed. For me who struggled a lot with anxiety growing up I can’t tell you how amazing it is to have someone who loves me by my side and who actively tells me to lay it down.

“This is why the Father loves me because I lay down my life so that I may take it up again.”

‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Some many lies I had went away the second I surrendered my life to Christ. Things like I will always be alone and no one will love me went away in a heartbeat as Christ fulfilled all my desires. Questions about what is my purpose and how much am I worth were all answered in His word and whenever I feel insecure I can always go back to the Bible for reassurance.

“But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law, he meditates day and night.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

I’m crying as I write this because I feel convicted by my own words I write as I sit here remembering all Christ has done for me and I don’t believe I have shown Him my gratitude enough. So I plead with you do not put Christ in a box. Do not shy away from Him for whatever fear you may have. My childhood stolen by fears and anxieties is something I wish I could get back. Do not waste your life listening to your doubts for who knows the creation better than the Creator? My prayer for you is that you will be persistent in laying things down, that you will remember that Christ knows better than you, and that you will trust in Him with all your heart. Because the second you do I promise you will not regret it. God bless you I love you all

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
