Surrender

He's coming.... That's what I keep getting in my prayer time.
 
The last few weeks, I have sometimes felt like I have been walking through a fog, where I can only see my hand in front of me.  I am walking carefully ahead as I listen for His gentle voice.

There have been some ruts in my life that I have been trying to step out of.   Unfortunately, when you can't see around you, you don't know if the step you are taking will take you out of the rut, or deeper into it.  All I can do is ask Holy Spirit clarifying questions and obey His directions, one moment at a time, one step at a time.

I found the way through the fog.  Do you want to know what it is?
"Surrender."  All I have,  all I am and all I ever hope to be, I surrender--to Him.

It sounds like, "Lord, did I tell you today how much I love You?"
Or it can sound like, "Lord Jesus, did I tell you today that You are all I am living for?
It can also sound like this, "Lord I don't know what the right thing to do is. Please show me the way."

These are the things I have found myself saying to the Lord.  He is everything to me.  Nothing else matters, as long as I can keep hearing His sweet voice. 

There are so many pursuits, hobbies and careers that can become powerful distractions to my time with Him.   I don't want anything to get in the way.  I don't want to find out that I missed the mark of the High call of God on my life when I get to Heaven.  I have come too far to quit now.

I have to go now.  I bless you now with passion to pursue Him, regardless of the price.  May you know His joy in your journey and may you hear His, "Well done!" every day of your life. Amen!
Big hugs,
