Receiving God's Everything

I am captured by the words of Paul when he says, “I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us.” (Philippians 3:13 TMB)

Count me in! I want EVERYTHING that God has for me! Don’t you? Wouldn’t it be a shame to arrive in heaven, and discover that we only experienced HALF of God’s available blessings?

There is a catch, however. In order to experience everything God has for us, we must be willing to surrender our self-will so that He can work His plan for our life. It means we must trust Him. It means that we give Him permission to interrupt our lives with His surprises! We must recognize that He knows best. Too many Christians are living “below the poverty line” spiritually, because we are afraid to completely trust God. NOT ME! I want everything that He is offering! Thanks for praying. God is helping. I love you!
