Surrender

i think.. there are times when God watches to see if we will give Him even small gifts of surrender, just to show how genuine our love is for Him.

To be surrendered to God is of more value than our personal holiness. Concern over our personal holiness causes us to be concerned about the way we walk and talk and look, out of fear of offending God. "... but perfect love casts out fear..." once we are surrendered to God (1 John 4:18)." We should quit asking ourselves, "Am I of any use?" and accept the truth that we really are not of much use to Him. The issue is NEVER of being of use, but of being of VALUE to God Himself. Once we are totally surrendered to God, He will work through us all the time.

It used to be darkness, without You
I lived my life in blindness, but now i'm found.
Found in me weakness, broken.
You came to me in kindness, and now i live.
And i'll sing, sing.
Becos the world can't take away Your love.
I'll give my life for You
Lord, for all You've done.
