Surrender! Again and again ...

I have found that it is easy to do something once. I have even found that when we ask God for something He helps us do it although it may take us weeks, months and even years to walk out. But, I have also found that He asks us to do it again and again regardless of the timeline in which we comply. And, I think it is because it is easy to (finally) surrender something once. It is that repetitive sacrifice that may trip us up. When we come to God He asks us to give “it” with an open hand - not a clenched fist holding on for dear life. Is there something you are standing, holding before Him with a closed fist?

Romans 12:1-2 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
