I came to a point in my life where I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was never one who could do life very well and struggled to make my way. Unfortunately, my way didn’t work, and I had to tap into something far more significant than me. Today I have freedom unlike I’ve ever had, and I am ever grateful for what God has and continues to do for me. I may not yet be what I want to be but thank God I’m not like I used to be. Surrendering my life and allowing God to guide and direct lead to an intimacy with God. For me, it’s not about religion, but it’s about a personal relationship with Christ. If there is something in your life holding you back or dragging you down, try surrendering. Thanks for reading!
Surrender
I can remember a time in my life
when everything seemed so wrong.
The world felt turned upside-down,
and I thought I didn’t belong.
For many a year, a great darkness,
lurked inside my mind.
I tried to search for a guiding light,
but I was lost and blind.
I felt unworthy of God’s love
for the bad choices I made.
And I would pretend that I was okay
when deep down, I was afraid.
Afraid that God was mad at me,
for letting me feel this way.
And that He mocked my every word,
at times I tried to pray.
I knew of His Son, Jesus Christ,
who died on the cross for me.
But I did not see the power in Him,
would heal me spiritually.
Until the day all hope was gone,
my outlook on life was grim.
I accepted the fact that I needed help,
so I surrendered my life to Him!
