Life as it is, is not always easy. It comes with pressures and high expectations. We need to be strong. But man's strength falls short to the demands of this world. So we try to find strength in convenient places, things or persons. We try to seek it through our friends. Others resort to addictive things like alcohol, drugs, or vices. Some like to go on a vacation to recharge. We surrender to these pleasures, hoping to reset ourselves and be re-energized.
But what is real strength? What should we do to gain it?
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength and with all your mind." Luke 10:27
To love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is an act of sweet surrender. Instead of surrendering to the love of temporary pleasures to "regain strength." We are to surrender to loving Him. To God shall we lift up our worries, hopes, and dreams. Surrendering to God is to yield, giving way for His love to capture us.
When we give to God our love, we are responding to His initiative. God loved us first and He is just waiting for us to accept His love. Our response is like opening the flood gates of abundance that is reserved for us every single day. When we are filled with His love, then we have much strength to give. We then shall overcome the world.
So go ahead, surrender to loving Him and see how real strength...God's strength, will change your life today.
