Don’t Settle, Do Surrender

Surrendering is not the same as settling. Sometimes we suffer enough life-blows that it takes the wind right out of our sails. We've settled because we've stopped dreaming. To settle into your circumstances is to give up hope that things will ever change. It's to camp in your misery and to allow despair to win the day. You were made for better things. To surrender to God in your circumstances is to let go and let God. It's to embrace forward-moving faith while trusting God in the now. Take a moment to exhale today. Jesus wants to breathe fresh life into your sails. He intends to impart new dreams to your soul. Don't settle. Surrender it all to Him and keep believing for miracles.

1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP ~ Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].
