While writing my last post, I was listening to Casting Crowns to drown out the background noise and hopefully provide a source of inspiration... It worked!
One thing I have recently learned is the importance of truly giving your life to God - fully trusting in him and submitting your will to His. This is also something that I have a very hard time with - especially when it comes to relationships. If I love someone - I don't want that to change! I want to be with them, to love them, to give myself to them... and there's nothing worse than being told that a wonderful relationship needs to end - especially when you have no idea why.
The song that struck me is At Your Feet by Casting Crowns. I was typing away, when I heard these lines:
"Here at Your feet I lay my future down
All of my dreams I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace"
I stopped typing, and just listened. Can I do that? Can I really do that? Can I lay my future down at the feet of the Lord? Can I surrender all my hopes and my dreams? And even if I do - will I really find peace?
I know that this is what I need to do... But why is it so hard? Unfortunately, there's no happy ending to this story yet.
One thing I have learned though from past experience is that, in His own time, God almost always reveals the reasons for everything he asks us to do, and it all becomes crystal clear.
I hope and pray that I will find the strength I need to fully give myself to God, trusting in His infinite wisdom.
