Give It Up

Sometimes it's really hard to surrender your life to Christ or as I say die to yourself. First of all, what does that exactly mean? To surrender your life to God means to no longer be you. You have to completely change. You have to give up all your wants, desires, goals, everything. Trade it all for God and His wants, desires, goals for you, and His plan for you. He is offering you everything. When Jesus died on the cross for you, He wanted you. He didn't die so you could be like ok, He died. No take Him, be with Him. That's the whole point. So, stop being your old self. When you become a Christian the old has gone and the new has come, obviously you can't go on living the way you were! I'm not saying over night you'll be sinless. Think of it this way instead: When you surrender to God you aren't sinless, but you begin to sin less. Get the idea?

Next thing, why? Why should you surrender to God and not keep living the way you are? Well, lets face it, you are never satisfied. Only God can satisfy you, stop turning to other things. God is the ONLY thing that can satisfy us! And another reason, you don't know what the future holds. He does, and He loves you so much. He wants what's best for you and He has a plan for your life far better than any plan you could have made for yourself. It makes sense to let Him run your life, it'll be amazing! Why the heck not? No excuses. He is the best way, He is the only way.

How do I know God is going to do all this for you? He did it all for me. He promises to do it all for you and He keeps His promises. God is everything to me. He is my love, my hope, my passion, my comfort, my all, my everything. Why would you skip that? So you could live your life the way you want to? I know a life without God is nothing. It's just exsisting. Give it all to God! Don't miss your chance to live.
