Just trust Him and not yourself. I know it is such an easy concept yet so many of us struggle with control. Wanting to hold on to things for fear of loss, change or both. One of the common objections I hear people say when talking about giving their hearts to Jesus is they don't want to give up their lifestyle. I get that whether it be their music, friend circle, perhaps an unholy job, relationship or addictions. I know when I was in my late teens I was not ready to commit my life. I didn't want to change or give up my freedom. My oldest sister was frustrated with me but His timing was not hers. I gave my life willingly and thankfully without any major "rock bottom" hard luck story in 1993. I look back and I see her love for me and the life she knew He would give me was all she wanted for me. But even as a believer we are guilty of holding on to stuff. The things we don't want to surrender. The things we carry when the Lord wants to lift our burdens. He wants you to let go of all you are holding on to! Whatever it is. Whether it is your home life, work life, relationship problems ...... All He wants you to do is hold on to Him. Remember His promise in Matthew 11:20 "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." He simply wants you to love Him and obey His commands. And know His commands are not burdensome. Just hold on to God today!
