It's Time...

Have you ever felt the fear of losing something you haven’t even lost yet? Have you ever wondered what it looks like to give away the most valued thing in your life?

Perhaps it’s a desire, your pride, emotions, etc. I remember in April (2025) on my birthday, when I asked God what He wanted me to dedicate the year to, as clear as day, I sensed Him nudge on my heart to live more surrendered.

When I think of surrender, I immediately think, I am surrendered… but every single one of us can always find another reason to surrender.

As I look back over the last months since that day, I can see that the reality of ‘the letting go’ has been a daily purging. Releasing hopes and dreams not yet fulfilled… It's all about placing those things in God’s hands and saying,

“Lord, I surrender all. I release all of these things into your hands, and I pray that Your will be done. Please help me to desire more of You and find my complete satisfaction in You. Thank You, Lord, that You are faithful and merciful. Thank You for never letting go of me.”

It’s time… surrender today and every day for the rest of your life because until you’ve let go, you won’t ever experience the freedom that comes after…

Sometimes we “hold onto things that were never ours to hold onto..."
