The Art of Surrender

It's been a while since my last blog entry...partly because I have no computer at home (I'm amazed at myself that I can actually live without it...well, for temporary time only..). I can say that it has been a great and amazing few weeks of my life.

Interesting enough that God was speaking about a lot of things at the same time, personally again He is bringing me to a place of deeper trust in Him. He was asking me to surrender my heart,again and again...the things that I hold tightly in my heart, and I realised that I have not fully given it to Him all of it. There I knew that how little my faith is...how weak my heart is. But I want to follow Him, and I do want to be wholeheartedly devoted to Him. As I choose that decision, my heart just broke. It's almost like everytime I'm broken before God, it's like a jar that broke again and again, the first few times it broke, it became small pieces, and the more it's being broken again and again, it became finer and all the sharp and rough edges begin to disappear.

The art of surrender....how does one give what is not his?And to begin to embrace death of oneself...where one is finally no more. Taking on a new life, transforming to One image...an image so perfect and whole.
It's an art of giving,....giving oneself wholly without holding anything back. Casting all cares and concerns of oneself to One, whom with open arms, promise to keep, guard, and always present.

I want to live a radical life for Him...the One...and totally casting myself with all the cares in my life, and to believe, to hope, to trust....having confidence that my God will supply all my needs according to the riches found in Christ Jesus. I took His word for it.

I want to be one, who will master the art of surrender...to see His glory in my lifetime. A constant art to learn, but I know that He'll be constantly present to enable me to do it.
