When you accept Christ, you receive all of him,
The question is,
"Has He received all of you?"
Have you given him the keys to your life?
Tonight, we took time to consider what it means to live a surrendered life. What did Jesus mean when he called us to "deny ourselves, pick up our cross daily and follow him" Luke 9:23-24. I'm convinced it's summed up in the statement above. We have received the all of the Holy Spirit, but are we allowing Him to infiltrate every area of our life. I wish it was a 1-time thing. It was 11 years ago today I began a relationship with Jesus. I can't count the number of times I've found myself flat on my face (figuratively and literally) surrendering over areas of my life that I've tried to grab back hold of, or let others control instead of Him.
A Surrendered life to the control and guidance of the Holy Spirit is the only one worth living!
