How does He even still <i>want</i> to be with us after all we have--and haven't--done?<br /><br />Exactly. We make such a big deal of surrendering, when ultimately we only have the option of it because God gave it back to us. He didn't have to, but He did. "...We'll never be truly whole until we surrender ourselves completely." Amen!!<br /><br />Haha! Thank YOU, dearie :)<br />Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-34552780681248157512016-07-24T20:00:57.621-04:002016-07-24T20:00:57.621-04:00<3 It's a long lesson to learn, isn't ...<3 It's a long lesson to learn, isn't it?Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-71102139852344285442016-07-24T20:00:19.995-04:002016-07-24T20:00:19.995-04:00Laura, yes!!

This was beautiful, Olivia! You have such...Oh my! This was beautiful, Olivia! You have such a poetic way of writing. And wow, was this post packed with truth or what? <br /><br />That second paragraph especially is very convicting for me. I know I struggle with that. "What have I ever done for You--truly? When have I ever given out of a sincere desire to give to You, or blessed out of a sincere desire to bless You? When have I sincerely sat at Your feet to drink You in, to hear what You are thinking and feeling?" Yes, yes. When HAVE I? And how do I even begin to do it?<br /><br />"The only thing which is mine--and even that is mine only because God relinquished to me His right to it--I can give to Him. A pitiful offering, but the one He has requested: my life, wound tightly around my secret-garden heart." Oh! I love that. It's so true. Our lives are only our own to give because He relinquished His right to them...but ultimately we belong to Him and we'll never be truly whole until we surrender ourselves completely.<br /><br />Okay, I can't say anymore. I'm just going to quote your whole post, and that would be rather silly, wouldn't it? :P Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts, dear. :)Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-4647493000666887502016-07-20T15:12:24.088-04:002016-07-20T15:12:24.088-04:00Wow.

With my anxiety, it's never been easy to let go of the worry and stress, but God promises us peace, which is in it's very definition: Free from worry or the troubles of the world. He can give us all we truly need. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514396066746617960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-50724468828382043982016-07-20T01:19:03.790-04:002016-07-20T01:19:03.790-04:00This was sweepingly beautiful.
