Read: Deuteronomy 6:1-9
Recently, while watching a video of a church service held in South America, I noticed something I had never seen before in church. As the pastor passionately called his flock to yield their lives to Jesus, one of the parishioners took a white hankie out of his pocket and started waving it in the air. Then another, and another. With tears running down their cheeks, they were expressing full surrender to Christ.
But I wonder if there was more to the moment than the flags of surrender. I think they were waving flags of love to God. When God told His people to love the Lord your God (Deut. 6:5), it was in the context of His urging them to surrender their lives to Him.
From Gods point of view, life with Him is far more than just trying to be good. It is always about relationshiprelationship in which surrender is the way we express our grateful love to Him. Jesus, in amazing love for us, surrendered Himself on the cross to rescue us from our helpless bondage to sin and set us on a journey to all that is good and glorious.
We dont have enough words to tell God how much we love Him! So, lets show Him our love by surrendering our hearts and lives to follow Him.
I wanna be there on the beach!

People find it hard to sum you up easily. You are very worldly, and you can have a great conversation with almost anyone. One side of you is more serious - your personality can be strong. You enjoy working hard, intellectual pursuits, and lively debates. The other side of you is more fun loving - you are outrageous. You love to dance, joke, and be the life of the party. |

I did not take the quiz but the results that would be fitting for me would be a barrel full of sun screen with a huge umbrella in it.
I will have to get the engineer busy on that one.
