Surrender

     This is a poem that God gave me at the start of the new year 2022. The words came at a moment when I was feeling some fear about how unknown my plans were for that year. It was during that time of questioning that He gave me this poem with a promise that He would carry me through, come what may. As I read back over it now, I see how He has used both the desert and fruitful seasons of my life to draw my heart closer to His throughout the years. He truly is worthy of our surrender.

Surrender

A freedom found in letting go 

A joy the world can never know.

From shards into a masterpiece

A heart of love that gently speaks. 

I kneel before my Savior King 

Place in His hands, my everything 

A burden lifts up from my heart

A purpose deep, He then imparts

Why can't people understand? 

Why don't they realize, they're part of His plan? 

The brighter the fire, the deeper the trust 

There's so much He's willing to give to us. 

With tears, I lay beside His feet 

He lifts me up and starts to speak 

"My child, I know the way is tough 

But it will be worth it, for I am enough. 

Enough for every valley, 

Enough for everyday 

Enough for every moment 

That you'll look back and say,

My joy is found in loving You

My love is found in knowing You

You're all that I will ever need

I choose to always let you lead."

For surrender brings true freedom

And I choose to trust His heart.

There's beauty in the brokenness

He's creating works of art.
