Grasping our Pennies

For the past month God has been speaking to me about surrender. What that really means, and what surrender looks like in my life. For a while I was struggling, I felt like I was stuck. No physically stuck more so I was mentally stuck, especially when it came to my relationship with God. About A month ago I was worshiping and as I was singing, it all of the sudden hit me. I surrender... the song was referring to complete surrender to God. I instantly felt convicted and realized why I was stuck. Intimacy without surrender is adultery. I had said YES to God, without saying NO to the world. I was grasping onto my pennies and had forgot what I was gaining. I realized to fully experience my savior I needed to surrender all control over my life, and completely die to myself.
