Total Surrender...

I asked a short while ago, "What does it take to get closer to God? What does it take to know Him as much as possible this side of Heaven? What does it take to fully serve Him?" I think I have my answer:

Total surrender...

God kept asking me over and over during the time I was praying about it, "Are you willing to do what it takes? Are you willing to pay the cost? It won't be easy." I am willing. Nothing else matters anymore. Help me though...

Comment Question:
"...so...what ignites your heart Jim? What is the fire shut up within your bones? What compels you? There can be many things...there are many for me."

Four main things: the lost, the hurting, young Christians, and music of course.

There are lost people everywhere we go that need someone to reach out and tell them about their only Hope, I want to somehow do that eventually. A heart for hurt people is something God gave me shortly after I became a Christian. It seems like family problems, abuse, messed up lives, and any other bad thing like that you can think of are getting really common now, and someone needs to help those people. Some people are just simply hurting. That's probably the biggest thing God's put on my heart. Young Christians also need someone to disciple them and build them up in their faith. And music is something God told me to get into, and I've loved it ever since.

  • I like the question your pose and the answer you give. It is complete surrender, a constant examination of oneself in light of Scripture. A willingness to change and a desire for action.
