I'm finding that everytime I say to God, "Lord, I give everything to You", I feel such a sense of peace and relief. It's like when I was little and I had any kind of trouble. Who did I run to for help? Mom or Dad. And they would take my trouble away by finding the solution to the problem (like what problem can't be fixed at age 5, right?) But I see it the same way with God as an adult. I give everthing over to Him, my dreams and hopes too! My whole life, health and being. I don't want any of it in any other hands (including mine!) than God's. And everytime I do, I just feel such a sense of peace and resolve afterwards. Like I felt when I gave my troubles or "ouchs!" when I was little to my parents. Does anyone else feel this way?
Colossians 3:12-17 (Good News Translation) "You are the people of God; He loved you and chose you for His own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity. The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful. Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts. Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through Him to God the Father."
