I once had a pastor whose favorite saying was: "I make the choice; God makes the change."<br /><br />I ask God daily to search my heart, mind, and soul for anything that is unpleasing to Him (Psalm 139:23-24), yet I also tend to try to "fix things" myself. Thank you for your encouragement to allow the real Commander and Chief to do his work through me.<br /><br />Denise Hughes :)Denise Hugheshttp://www.thequietquill.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-63462658243985243842009-06-09T19:37:51.913-07:002009-06-09T19:37:51.913-07:00"It's what He does in me and then through..."It's what He does in me and then through me that will last."<br /><br />Amen, sister. Trees don't grow fruit by straining, but by being - by abiding, and drawing up water and nourishment from the Source. And that's how the fruit of the Spirit grow, from our abiding in Him and in His Words.

Instead I pray that each and every one of my loved ones and prayer children may get what they need.<br />It's a good think that God want us to stay in steadily contact with him.<br />We are encouraged to always be praying.<br />I'm afraid I sometimes have been acting as commander in chief instead of a humble disciple.<br /><br />Old dogs CAN learn new tricks.<br />I'm a proof on that..so far.<br />From FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-86145578809032416272009-06-09T17:06:50.560-07:002009-06-09T17:06:50.560-07:00Amen sister!

There are some "battlefield" issues, like forgiving and serving, that get in the way!<br /><br />But, like you said, over time, with continuing to submit our hearts, we will follow him anywhere.<br /><br />Good post.<br />wbWarren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-13248467516619971262009-06-09T13:01:22.105-07:002009-06-09T13:01:22.105-07:00Great post Debbie.

So often we say we want God to be in control of our lives, but we keep little compartments locked away with "DO NOT TOUCH" signs on the doors. <br /><br />I pray all of us would completely surrender everything to Him -- even our dreams.<br /><br />Bless you,<br />BethBeth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-28184526561129655842009-06-09T12:54:05.143-07:002009-06-09T12:54:05.143-07:00That prayer of surrender is powerful.
