All I have to give

This past weekend I went home and spent much needed time with family, even though the visit was very short. I had come to some important conclusions over the past week about my relationship with Christ and I decided that it is far better for me to live a yielded life to Him than a life of compromise with the nature of the world. Sometimes this road appears lonely or that others may join me but the timing was off. However, I am not alone because the Lord is always with me and there is a remnant of those who are on this journey with me. I am understanding more clearly what this season is about, and what it is not about, in my life.

I can boldly say that I don't have all the answers and I'm not perfect. But thank God I am allowing the One who is to have free course in my life because I do not want to operate in a wrong spirit; God forbid I cause others to stumble! I recently told someone that; I just do not want to be a stumbling block for anyone. So this weekend was definitely a time of refreshing. I was able to just pour out my heart to the Lover of my soul and allowed Him to pour back in and all I can say is to God be the glory! 

I truly embrace this season with excitement! Although there will be moments that will not feel good to my flesh, I know that everything is working together for my good, I love the Lord and I am called according to His purpose. He has brought me a mighty long way and I know He will continue to do so because He wants to be glorified through me. So I choose to give Him all of me and finish my course with joy!

Lord,

I thank You for Your unfailing, unwavering love. For how You hold me together even when I feel like falling apart at the seams. Thank You for being my confidante, the One who has me in the palm of Your hand and I know I won't be plucked out because of the promises in Your Word. As I continue on this journey called life that You so graciously blessed me with, I thank You for giving me the strength to willingly submit every area of my life, including the stubborn places that tries to shout, "I got me"...submitting all of that and everything else to You. May my life bring You honor so that when it is time for me to move on from this world, I will be with You forever. To You be blessing, and honor, and glory, and power forever and ever. In Jesus' name. Amen.
