I surrender

Today I was reflecting on this beautiful morning. The light of the morning streaming through the trees, spreading its warmth on the cold earth. I feel so inspired by nature's beauty everyday, feeling blessed to see God's creation before me. A song really ministered to me this morning that I wanted to share, the lyrics playing over and over "I surrender, all to you, Lord all to you". It was so powerful to hear the words coming out of my mouth. After repeating the verses I began thinking yes, I truly surrender. I've been holding on to so many things, my future, my marriage, my job, friends...not realizing that my tight grasp kept me from praying over these things. It was so refreshing to think that I didn't have to hold onto them any longer, exchanging my burden for His- "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." 
That I could surrender these things to God. Its sort of been a theme of mine this year. Wanting to let go but never truly doing so. I share this in hopes that as a friend of mine you remind me of the truth. To surrender and be venerable before my Abba. To give him all.
