Submitting to God

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Hebrews 12:9 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!

These past 2 weeks had been a hard one for me. I had been used by God despite the fact that I been in a relationship that was displeasing to the Lord. As time went on I realised that I would have no peace about this until I fully submitted to God and ended the relationship. Ending it brought new feelings of loss and depression and I felt abandoned by God. But had I been abandoned? No as I was really mourning the loss of this relationship.

But now I have a freer realtionship with My Heavenly Father. I no more feel guilty about it. And now I can be used by God to do His will with no obsticles. I ""put off the sin which so easly entangles us.""

I had not intented to be a example of submission but yet I was made one by God. May you be able to submit your sins and burdens to Him as well.

Heavenly Father please give us as the ability to completely surrender to your will so that we can be mightly used by you to accomplish your will with nothing holding us back.
