| We sometimes attempt to
make God fit into a mold we have designed. We may never miss
a church service, and faithfully go through the motions saying
all the appropriate words and yet feel as though something
is still lacking spiritually. We serve God and He is what
He is, we cannot change Him as much as we may try.
Have we forgotten our place? How often do we fall on our
face before him broken, humbled and totally surrendered? What
is so dear to our hearts that we can't relinquish into His
hands? We want God to be Lord over our lives but we exclude
Him from areas we don't want to be touched or changed. If
we want the blessings and the promises we can't forget the
sacrifice and obedience. We don't create plans for our lives
and then ask God to bless them, we seek His plan and He will
bless it.
It is not religion and traditions that make us what God wants
but it is our intimate relationship with Him and our willingness
to surrender all to Him.
