Giving it All

Ever get to the point when you KNOW you need to give it all to God...every circumstance, every thought, every word, every whatever it may be....to fully SURRENDER to Him yet there's a part of you that you CHOOSE to hold on to and have a hard time giving up? I often ask myself why it is so difficult to let God have my life...to do as He wills. Is it because I feel that I am superior and it's best if I take control rather than letting the very One who created me follow through with His awesome and PERFECT plans? I am sometimes fearful to give it all over to God. Why, you ask? I wish I knew the answer to that. Why wouldn't I want to allow Him to take all of my frustrations, bitterness, doubts, fears, insecurities, etc? Seems like it should be a simple thing to do yet I struggle with it so much. It's not that I don't WANT Him to have control. Am I just afraid of what may come about it? That things will change? That I may have to step out of my comfort zone? That I am not skilled or strong enough to take on whatever task HE unfolds for me? But just a simple reminder, self, that God is your Creator and He loves you and only will lead you on the right path when you seek Him with all of your heart. "You will SEEK me and FIND me when you search for me with all of your heart." It's time to fully surrender. "Sweetly Broken...Wholly Surrender"
