Redemptions Surrender

Within each of us there is an inability to give up. We at times hold on to what we believe is right and do not let anyone tell us otherwise. Some of us hold on to things stronger then others and are more dominant in their methods. One of the hardest things to learn is to give up when you know you are wrong or when you know you can't do it on your own. In theory, it shouldn't be very difficult to just lay in surrender to the truth. The well known saying of the truth hurts is as precise as it gets. The truth hurts people because it pierces through the hardened shells we have constructed around ourselves. The dangerous part is when people have designed this hardened wall around the heart.


We all have different fronts and some of us can push our emotions aside so no one could ever see us struggling. The difficult thing is you can never hide from everyone. Each person is not immune to complete deception. Your game of deception in only a manipulation of your lack of being able to surrender. You hide behind the walls of this life, allowing anything to hide your pain. You place your face behind the screen of your computer hoping some world out there in cyberspace will come to love you and take care of you. You push yourselves into the arms of a man or woman you know you may not marry because they provide you safety and unprotected joy. With each bottle you knock down, you are lying to yourself in what makes you happy. With each hit you take life's pains become more blurry and irrelevant. That is until each of those things disappear and you are left all alone with not a single person to say "I am with you."


Why do you let life take you on that journey? Do you not realize that you cannot do it on your own? There is not a man strong enough on this earth that can fight every battle on his own. No man can stand in the face of danger and defeat it every single time. Yes, we may get lucky and are able to fight some of our own battles, but in reality, some of these battles were created to defeat us. If these battles were designed to bring us down, then why do you run to them and stand at the front line. Why do you allow a complete stranger to tell you they love you when all they want to do is use you? Girls, why do you allow yourselves to be treated like objects, rather then vessels of pure and untainted love? Guys, why do you allow your self-worth to be limited to the temptations of your mind?


The beauty of this world is that it was created perfect, but was destroyed by the lack of surrender and unequal love. The beauty within that is now we have a reason and ultimate purpose to run full speed to the One who came to save the world from our own inabilities. We are given the choice to completely surrender our lives to Him for him to cleanse us and fill up those areas in our life where we are empty. If you lack love, He is love. If you lack strength, He is stronger. If you lack direction, He is your Compass. Life can be different for you when you fully decide to get down on your knees, raise your hands high and say, "I cannot do this on my own anymore." The universal symbol of surrendering is to put your hands up. I am telling you that to raise your hands high is only the beginning. With that, you need to lift up your heart, your mind and your everything to Him who created all things. Give up your empty relationship, your destructive habits, or whatever it is that takes you away from true Happiness. The only thing standing between you and surrendering is your inability to truly want pure joy. I promise you, once you have tasted of His glory, you will not turn your back. For we cannot do this on our own, but with Him, we can do all things.


Imperfections were created to bring the Perfecter for us to Surrender


That is Truth
