Faith

faith= believing that God is who he says he is and that He does what he says he will do. but what does MY faith depend on?? does it depend on if I get that job? get that relationship? get to stay in my apartment? get fired? get cancer? lose a loved one? my faith should not be determined by my circumstances. no matter what, I should always, always, always, believe that God wants the best for me...and if I am not willing to surrender ALL OF MY LIFE to him, then I should not be disappointed or angry with him when he doesn't come through in one area of my life....that really hit me hard this morning during service. i feel like i am missing out on huge blessings or a huge potential to let Jesus shine through me when there is blockage in my soul....you know like when your arteries get clogged with cholesterol and you have a heart attack....the blockage, whatever it might be, pains my heart and there is a certain pressure that is only specific to "blockage"one of my favorite songs is "Lift High" - - - broken people call his name....lift high your chains undone...ransom paid and freedom won....sinners exalt the son....Jesus Christ, the Holy One...lift up your heads, look on him.that's all we need to do..instead of walking around looking down, we need to look up to Jesus..He will direct us where we need to go...it's all about surrender...SURRENDER. SURRENDER...daily...SURRENDER IT ALL!!
