Surrender

Linking with Charlotte at  Spiritual Sunday and Laura at Brag on Fridays

“If you struggle more...you’ll sink faster" Land before time 

Life is full of things I don't understand. And it's full of conflicts. Sometimes I want something to go a certain way but another person involved has a different idea. 

Conflicts. Coming to a resolution is not always easy. And hurt feelings happen. I used to be a fighter. I never wanted to give up or give in. I thought I had to fight until I got what I wanted. Not anymore. Now I think it's better to just surrender. Not surrendering to the person....but surrendering to Him. I trust Him. I know He'll always make it right.

Surrender equals peace....Surrender brings unity. Surrender brings a softer easier way. 

I surrender....all to Him I freely give.....

"At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance..." 
Maya Angelou

I've alway been a fighter. I learned to fight...to defend myself..to stay alive...pushing back against those who hurt me. I fought hard...never giving up...never giving in. I focused my enegry on staying one step ahead....always fighting for that elusive freedom. 

I learned, too,  to fight to get what I needed. Living on the streets....having little money....and few things....I learned to be quick...fast...and focused. I still have that fighter mentality....I feel it inside...that drive...that pull to hold on....to not let go at all costs....that fight that feels like life and death...

Surrender. That hasn't been in my vocabulary. Surrender - Give in. Give up. - Surrender - Letting go of fear....trusting. 

I've decided....I'm surrendering....to Him who took the brokeness in my heart....and freed me. The price? His life for mine. Surrender used to feel like defeat but now I know - surrendering to Him....is being a winner. 

All to Jesus I surrender...all to Him I freely give.....
