Surrender

Life is full of ups and downs. Even a single day or hour, can have wonderful moments and heart-crushing moments right after each other. If you are like me you want life to resemble a fluffy cloud floating on a gentle breeze but let's face it, life can be tumultuous at best. My tendency is to cling to the good and reject changes that issue in the unknown. Yet I keep sensing God asking me to surrender it all, surrender the unknown, surrender the good and bad. God gives and takes away. Even my breath is his to give and take.

 It's hard.... deep down not to desire some level of control over my present and future. Yet surrender means letting God be God. I'm not very good at letting Go but I can choose moment by moment to surrender.
