A realization...

Today is another one that will have no link to a lyric video, but this song is a necessary one to download, for anyone.  You simply must have it.  And the reason it's so important is because this song speaks to a truth unmentioned from yesterday, one which I'm sure you have already realized: we are called to missionary service, but we are incapable of fulfilling that call completely without Christ (John 15:5).

"Surrender... surrender... surrender, all these things to You; all my life to You; all my dreams to You; I keep falling in surrender to You."
"Surrender" by downhere

There is a calling laid upon each of us, as mentioned yesterday, and sometimes it comes really quietly.  Other times, it comes in a thunderous roar.  The point of our walk and our mission, as individuals, is to be faithful to that calling.  We must persevere.  But then something happens, and all of a sudden we feel like we cannot go on any further.  Our flesh kicks in, and we realize that we have not yet surrendered ourselves fully to His will. 

Know this, blessed ones, and never forget it: the moment you resign yourself fully to the will of God for your life, what He is capable of doing with your service is so far beyond anything you can ever dream!  As my senior pastor says often, "When our faith intersects with His faithfulness, miracles happen!" 

"In this fall without a bottom, the deeper my surrender, the higher we will rise!"

Have the faith necessary to surrender your life, your dreams, your very being into His hands.  He is, as we said yesterday, able and beyond able to do anything (Ephesians 3:20).  Anything is a tough word to break down, but that is what God can do... ANYTHING!  The question is, will you be faithful to be a part of that?

Remember: Surrender... surrender... surrender.

God bless you all!!!
