Surrender

Have been anticipating for this weekend so much because:

1. Metro Tab. having evangelist Shyju Mathew over for three days of power encounter meeting ,
2. Which also means finals is ending soon, one more paper to go!

These three days of meeting have been powerful. Though it was far beyond my expectation, i went expecting to release my burden, lay some of things I haven't been able to let go and forgive completely at the altar, but I found something more valuable, The Answer.

Today's sermon is one the toughest sermons I ever hear in my life as a Christian. I'm sure it was to many of us because it was so straight forward, God is telling you directly what He wants you to do. You know you should do it, yet its so hard, but you know you should. Have you been in this kind of situation?

I always ask God the reason for all the pain in my life. I always ask God what have I done so so so wrong to be deserving of it and today, I found the answer why. Evangelist Shyju was sharing about surrendering everything you have to the Lord. He asked us if we ever ask a young child to give his/her only sweet to us, only to see them holding on to the sweet even tighter, but if they have 2, and they like you, they most probably give you one, and hold on tight to the other one in their hands.

Then it hit me. I always thought I surrendered everything to the Lord. I always pray that God take control over my future yet today I see that I'm still holding on to some 'sweets' and only give God some of it. Then he continue saying that sometimes God have to literally snatch it back from you, and there's where the pain starts to come.

After hearing this, I know there are still things I have to surrender to God, but even so, it was tough, so so tough. From today on, this is going to be my prayer and its something I have to learn, to take a bigger step of faith, and step out of my comfort zone. I will pray the same prayer as Evangelist Shyju prayed. Lord, let me learn to be smart, to surrender to You before You have to snatch it from me. Amen!

Have you gotten you answers yet? What's are you supposed to surrender yet you're still hanging on tight to it?

Okay, on the least serious side, it was a superb Easter day!
