Surrender Yourself

We get so caught up in life with our chosen distractions. These things, habits, "needs" can keep us from God, and the purpose He has for our lives. These distractions slowly will begin to take root in our lives and separates us from God. We ultimately become a living, breathing distraction because we become like what we allow in.

God wants all of us, completely surrendered, so we can live out His plan for our lives. For this reason, God wants us to allow Him in, so that we can become like Him. This week, take a day and surrender something from your life that you think you "need" or rely on, but can keep you from God. This can be something such as food, internet, tv, working out....anything you do everyday that you have become dependant on. When you don't give life to that thing, it will wither and die. This allows a space for God to take root, replacing that "thing" that once inhabited that space. The more you do this, the more God can fill you up. You will more and more become like Him and walk out your true identity!
