MOTION: Living Beyondनमुना

LIVING BEYOND: Yourself 

I choose to live a life of surrender.

Do you know how deeply loved you are by God? So often we talk about the beautiful exchange Jesus made on the cross, but rarely do we take the time to experience His resurrection power in our day-to-day  lives. 

Jesus came so that we could receive salvation-- but even more, He came to give us access to an authentic, vibrant relationship with God. This relationship is the only one who can exchange our brokenness for blessings. He is able to do far beyond anything we could ask or imagine.

So, what’s required of us? 

Surrender. We must choose to live beyond ourselves and give God access to every area of our lives. The Bible says it this way: He must increase and we must decrease (John 3:30).

Over the next 10 days, we are going to go on a spiritual  journey to exchange our lives for His. We will surrender our emotions in exchange for His peace, our problems in exchange for His promises and our plans in exchange for His purpose. 

When we give God control of our lives, He is faithful to keep His promises and carry us further than we could ever go on our own. So, open your heart and invite the Holy Spirit to point out any areas of your life that you’ve been holding onto. 

Surrender is never easy, but it’s always worth it. So, enjoy the process and remember that God deeply desires to be in friendship with you.
