All of us Christians, reach the moment of full-surrender in our lives. The
moment when we’ve finally realized that what we have in life, isn't enough. The
moment we realize that the only Joy we can get, is through Christ. There was a
time in my life when I finally realized that. When I say, “Full-surrender”, I
don’t mean, “Okay, God you can have this area.” I mean, “Okay, God, you’re the
only one who can fill my thirst and hunger.” The moment, when we bow at his feet,
and realize that He is our ultimate and Sovereign King!
For my birthday last year I got a
book called, “Hinds’ feet on High Places” by Hannah Hurnard. This is a book I
would definitely recommend! J
In this book, Much-afraid comes to the moment of full-surrender. I thought I’d
post an excerpt from the book! After you've read the excerpt, I would encourage you to watch/listen to the video below! Enjoy! :)
The white-robed flowers growing on
the High Places that were buoyant and unsullied after being walked on by the
Shepherd and Much-Afraid, are perfect examples of what happens when we lay our
lives down for Him. Instead of being damaged as we might fear, we rise again to
exude a perfume richer and sweeter than before. Is there anything you are hesitant
to lay down? Think about it for a moment. Then, with renewed commitment and
yieldedness, come to your Lord and say: You are my King-the King of love and of
everything that is lovely.
Kneel before Him knowing that you
are kneeling before the One who is gentle and tender, but also full of
strength, power, and authority. Express to Him your desire to have burned or
pressed out of you all that is not of Him. Hear Him say: “…Lo, this has touched
your lips; your iniquity and guilt are taken away, and your sin is completely
atoned for and forgiven” (Isaiah 6:7 AMP)
Thank Him for the reality of the
experience when it pleases Him to bring it forth. Patiently wait for His
timing!
