Surrendering Oneself
PostPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:11 am
Last night at church, the theme of the sermon was "God's Dream for Us". It was centered around the plan the Lord had for each of our lives, and how all of us should be willing to surrender our own dreams in order to live out God's will for us. It went on to speak of findingout what his plan was for you, and more. But here's what there good part comes in:
Earlier that day, I'd heard the song by Big Daddy Weave called 'Everytime I Breathe' on the radio. Once on the way to school, once on the way home. It was catchy, and I liked it, but something about the song stuck with me, and I couldn't tell what it was. Later it hit me; the line about "After knowing one so great, how could I give anything less than all I have to give?" And that, along with that sermon and the absolutely amazing worship service before that...it was overwhelming. I felt like the Lord had been telling me something, preparing me for that night by letting me hear that song during the day.
In any case, I still do not know what the Lord's plan for my life is. However, no matter what it is, it is His plan, not mine, and I will follow Him. One day I will know what the plan is for my life, and I will try to do what He wants me to do.
