i've learnt recently what it means not. and in the process, what it is.
its not praying for God's will yet not waiting for God's reply. its not committing plans to God, then going by your intuitions. its not asking God for relief in times of trouble, but for the strength to see u through. its not taking your final decision or prevailing circumstances to be God's will.
surrendering everything to God means; letting everything be decided by God. everything every single plan not plans already made. it is letting God make the plans for u it is letting God shape ur destiny and who u are to become it is stopping when God doesnt give the green light and moving forward when God gives green God can provide and He will provide Do not be anxious for anything and..He will make your paths straight. wow..i din expect to learn so much in a simple meet up with Wallis and Arron. Wallis shared about his work and what God has taught him and laid upon his heart in the marketplace. "The worst thing a Christian can do is to be out of the will of God." very true and well said. i dont wanna be out...but have i consciously chosen to be in? i think i did not. What Wallis shared made me think twice of quitting my job. Have i really surrendered to God or have i presumed i did?
i shall pray again about this.
Wallis, thanks for your sharing. i appreciate that u initiate meet ups like this. I think it is essential for Christians to come together to minister and support one another. I sense the presence of God during the discussion, may He be glorified in our christian fellowship. =)
