The View from the Window of Complete Surrender is Amazing!

When we view life through the window of surrender, the view is breathtaking.  God's love for us is so great that He sent His only Son that we might have life, and that we might have life to the full.  Paul says that we cannot even comprehend the depth or breadth of God's amazing love and the future He has planned for us, and that our strength comes through the power of the Holy Spirit.  God is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine through the power that is at work in us(Ephesians 3:14-20).  This power and fullness of the Holy Spirit is only as alive and at work to the extent that we are surrendered to the will and purpose of God.  We are experiencing some struggles, and yet I know that as I surrender completely to the will and purpose of God, He will meet our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.  Thank you Heavenly Father for loving me and for providing for me and my family, and for blessing us with Your presence.  I pray that I will live a life of complete surrender and obedience to Your will, and that I will trust You completely to meet our needs and to see us through our time of struggle.  Help us to live sacrificially, taking up our cross daily in our service to You, and that we will be the salt and light to others that need a touch from Heaven.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
