"Man's Surrender"

"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with Thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were." (Psalms 39:12) Our God is so mighty, we have no idea just how big and powerful that our God really is; but the Bible tries to get that point across to us in the beginning, as the description of creation points out how He created the heavens and the earth. How can we even imagine to know a God of such magnitude? and yet, He has given us this love letter to express who He is, and to tell us how much He loves us. We must come to the understanding of who we are in this world, who we are in Christ, and what is our standing with the Father; without doing so, we are bound to be pushed down by a fall, our own frustration, or even possibly an accusation; as it says in Romans 8:31, "If God be for us, who can be against us?", absolutely no one! We will one day see Him face to face, but until that day comes, we must strive forward, never doubting, and always anticipating that He is doing a work in our lives. It is impossible to rejoice in the wake of something tragic, but we are to count it all joy, knowing that God has His hand upon our lives, and He is not letting go; and if we need to cry, He will comfort us with His peace, as the loving Father that He is. There are some days that I feel I can not take another day; as I care for my wife, wondering how long Lord must this go on? how long Lord must she suffer this condition? Not long, is His answer, Not long at all. Much the same as our journey is here on this earth; we are here today, and gone tomorrow; like a flash it will seem, so we must make every moment count for what tomorrow will bring. Just keep loving... "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love caseth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love Him, because He first loved us." (1 John 4:17-19)
