We really don&#39;t know what may be asked of us, or where the Lord will lead us when we surrender ALL. We tend to think that it will be a place of comfort in another city, or another job, but it can mean painful and despairing places as well. To be willing to go where He needs me, where He can change me and refine me, to purify me...sometimes, I&#39;m not willing to surrender. I don&#39;t want any pain, and I don&#39;t expect any pain, but to be willing is all he asks. I like Felisol&#39;s comment...Isaiah 45:3..&quot;I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord...&quot;..that verse tells me that no matter where I go with Him, there are unforseen blessings waiting for me. To trust means to surrender.<br /><br />I love the video and your words...a message I always need to hear, again and again.<br /><br />God bless,<br />MaryMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15369867469773842215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-3094694391350446722009-11-14T13:58:43.858-08:002009-11-14T13:58:43.858-08:00Debbie,<br />This song made me think about our sermon last Sunday. The preacher commented that no one had probably told a lie in the last 30 minutes of the service.<br /><br />But I thought about all the songs we had been singing, and how many &quot;lies&quot; may have been sung during that time. We often sing without thought or intention, not necessarily &quot;lying&quot;, but not necessarily meaning what we say either.<br /><br />This song is one of those that makes me think I need to really pay attention as I&#39;m singing it. Am I really offering my life? My whole life? It is my intent! I often fail, but I sing it wholeheartedly as what I WANT to do.<br /><br />So thank you for sharing it today. May I sing it in truth!<br /><br />Love,<br />LisaLisa notes...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-30853435733281456212009-11-14T10:55:10.681-08:002009-11-14T10:55:10.681-08:00Blessings Debbie...Such a wonderful reflection and declaration! Beautiful song &amp; done so lovingly! I thought I knew this but it was a different one and I really was moved by the &quot;offering&quot;. Indeed may it be for His glory...as we surrender to Him, may we truly do so as He has done so much for us...I&#39;m so encouraged to hear that in His change in you, you have made a Heart Choice to Trust &amp; give Him it all! No more &quot;on our own&quot;...or in our own strength...been there, done that...it&#39;s a dead end...praise God for leading you in this new &quot;dance&quot; &amp; His GUIDANCE!<br /><br />Love &amp; hugs...(hope you don&#39;t mind what I shared today)...PeggyPeggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-19679266774722408172009-11-14T09:36:20.291-08:002009-11-14T09:36:20.291-08:00Lovely thoughts and equally lovely song. He&#39;s working on all of us, and remaining surrendered is among the greatest of our challenges. About the time I think I&#39;ve gotten it, a new round of pruning and fertilizing begins. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />KathleenSassy Granny ...http://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-10904868191907171002009-11-14T09:04:54.002-08:002009-11-14T09:04:54.002-08:00I&#39;ve never heard this song.
