Surrender it all

These past few months have been a crazy roller coaster. What I have realized is that I haven't given it all to Him. Him being our savior. You can't do this thing called life alone. You may think you're strong enough, but you will be shoved to the ground and feel utterly exhausted. You need Him to guide you, to help you, to lead you to where you need to be. I'm learning this just like some of you are too. 

It's hard for me to give up total control of my life. After years of me learning how to gain control back, I need to re-teach myself on how to lay my life out and hand it to our Lord. 
      
       To surrender  means to give everything up to the Lord. Lay it all down. Lose the right over yourself, both the "bad" self and the "good" self. Surrender means to lose your right to handle yourself on your own. In the middle of everything, lose and forfeit your rights to the Lord. Do not move. Freeze right where you are. Do not do anything. Surrender yourself just the way you are. By all means, do not fix yourself. Do not try in yourself to get it together. If you get it together, that means you are the Savior. Do not try to work what is dead back up into life, like trying to massage a heart that has stopped beating. You cannot squeeze life out of the region of death inside you. Life must come from the outside. We must let Christ inject life into our dead condition. We must receive the life. We must allow resurrection life to give life to our mortal bodies.
    
       Surrendering is not a once-and-for-all experience. It is continuous, day by day. when we are struggling to live, to keep pushing, that means it is time to fellowship with the Lord. It means to be more open with Him. Let Him in your life. Interact more with Him in Spirit. Our soul only exists for Christ, to contain him, to be filled with Him. Surrender means coming to Christ just as you are.
   Stop right where you are, and let The Lord have it all. Give up and turn everything over to Him.
We are just an organization. But the church is Christ alive in us. And that is why, through experience, only one thing is necessary, and that is to give Him first place. Let Him be the one who is doing everything. Let Him unravel the Knots in your life. Don't be afraid to put your life in the right hands. The ONLY hands who can fix anything and everything.
We need resurrection. Just call the name "Jesus." You will get His person. When we call "Jesus," He gets into our mind, He gets into our emotion, and He gets into our will and transmits Himself. What can we say but Hallelujah! What a Christ! Do not go anywhere else. There is no other humanity. Even the best perfected humanity will never make it.
How could you say no to that? To The perfect Savior?  Let Him take over and guide you to where you need to be.

     The church is true. This is what happens When we are connected to our Savior. We stand up, we testify, we sing, we are beside ourselves. We are filled. sing praise to our Lord, Share His life, His love with those around you. 
on the last days I will be judged, as so will you. and  on that day I will know that I surrendered myself to our Lord and Confessed to the world that His church is true. The Book of Mormon is true. The Bible is true. His Church, This church, is undeniably true.
Take a leap of faith. Put our Lord First in everything that you do. and i promise you will be changed. You will be happier. You will become closer to the savior. surrender yourself and become new.
