Scripture for the day: Proverbs 14:14 “The backslider in heart will be filled
with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above.”
I’m stubborn. I admit it. For years I refused to totally surrender my life
to God. It was like sorting laundry. I had a pile for God and several little
piles for me. His were the BIG things, and there was no question but that
they were His. I felt sufficient to handle my little piles. No need to
bother God with those. I was capable of managing on my own. Wrong!
It took years and a very serious illness to bring me to a place of complete
surrender. It is a much better place to be, and I regret not doing it sooner.
There is so much joy and peace where I am now. My joy rests with the Father
and all He provides on a daily basis. I no longer have to sort the laundry. He
simply gets it all, and it is white as snow.
Song for the day: “I Surrender All”
I surrender all to Jesus. I give it freely. I hold nothing back. May His love and
tender mercies fill me and show me the way to live today.
