Day 12: Unbroken Surrender

Writer: JoniJoni

I just read the following words and I started to cry and I don't know why

as they were familiar words

and simple words

but it is as if I am reading them for the first time~

TRUST HIM ENTIRELY.

I am still holding back tears

reading this simple basic TRUTH.

And maybe it is because it is so

SIMPLE that I have been complicating it all.

To SURRENDER FULLY

is TRUSTING ENTIRELY,

but I am TRUSTING,

yet not ENTIRELY.

Holding back the tears is my holding back on feeling

what I am not TRUSTING GOD ENTIRELY about.

Can you relate?

It is so easy to say

TRUST GOD

&

WAIT PATIENTLY

&

WATCH EXPECTANTLY

But it is in the doing that gets in the way

when ENTIRELY becomes PARTIAL

because DOUBT takes over because of the question~

Is GOD really working for

GOOD ALL THINGS

for my GOOD?

But then there is the word

that pierces my heart

that follow the word GOOD~

"For the GOOD of those who LOVE HIM" (Romans 8:28)

But I LOVE GOD. But I LOVE JESUS.

But I am LOVING ENTIRELY?

“’Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37).

ENTIRELY means ALL.

Yikes.

It ALL makes sense

as I am holding back

the BROKEN parts

of my

HEART

that

I DOUBT

GOD can fill,

even though

HIS SON

came to

HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED.

Now I know why the tears when I read

TRUST ENTIRELY.

Do you TRUST GOD ENTIRELY?

Just writing those words are initiating more tears

as I have to

SURRENDER my ALL

by ENTRUSTING GOD

with the

BROKEN FEELINGS

BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS

&

BROKEN CIRCUMSTANCES

that are taking up

GOD'S space

in my

HEART,

because I am

DOUBTING GOD will fill those spaces.

As I am writing this I can't believe that I am writing this

as this is so very personal,

but I know that I am not the only one.

Well GOD woke me up this morning

with

HIS WORD

to

TRUST HIM ENTIRELY

and now I have to

TRUST HIM ENTIRELY

because

GOD does not lie

and I know that

and I believe that,

so when DOUBT enters in

it is not from my GOD,

because

GOD WILL

WORK FOR GOOD ALL THINGS FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.

HIS GOOD is what

leads me & leads you

to experience

more of

HIM

because

HE LOVES me

&

HE LOVES you

with

HIS ENTIRE SELF

because that is why

JESUS LOVED us in HIS ENTIRELY

on the CROSS.

Will you TRUST GOD ENTIRELY

in this moment

by

TRUSTING HIM with your ALL~

"Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with

all your heart, ___________ *(put your name)

And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

In all your ways, ____________*, know and acknowledge and recognize HIM

And HE will make your paths, ____________*, straight and smooth

[removing obstacles that block your way]" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

The tears are flowing freely now

because

GOD showed up big time into my

HEART

with more of HIM

because

I answered HIS call to

TRUST ENTIRELY

as

"I SURRENDER ALL" (listen to the song below)
