"Surrender"
π₯π₯π₯
Sometimes the only place left to look is up. I wanted this to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by a circumstance or emotion. A feeling of being completely enveloped in something larger than oneself, like being swept away, drowning in a vast ocean. Yet knowing that the only hope of being rescued is by the one who walks on water. This is the transition of giving up the fight of having one's own way and allowing God to move in His timing as we begin to rest in the knowledge that He WILL respond to our every need and we will in fact not die! We are now in a space of dependency on God alone, which is the most powerful space you can be in despite the fact we are powerless. In our weakness, His strength is made manifest!!!
πππ
Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, βMy grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.β So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. Thatβs why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:8β-β¬10
