There is a song by Shana Wilson call ‘Press in your Presence’- I love how she says that  ‘God calls us his own’.How she begins to tell god since she is his take her heart, soul, and mind. To press in God’s presence is a beautiful thing. The pressing, the worshiping is our surrender.

 It’s the seeking which allows the pure form to take place to becoming his children.

So many times I have questions why God has me where I am. Why he want me? What do I have to offer that will be so great. What is my purpose in life? Am I only to work day in & out for a pay check to cover bills?

Can I have high expectations of him to know that I’m called to do something more than what I’m doing now? Your word says that I’m your child, then if this is so why am I feeling the struggle with some many things?

During my crying and questioning, I realized that God owns me nothing. His graces allow me to be his. I’m in the place I’m in because I haven’t learned to yield entirely to his will for my life. Meaning I haven’t given him the total trust to know that he has me.

That in my yielding, building a relationship with him, I’ll be in my process of ‘valuing the wait.’ How can I do the works of my father if I can’t appreciate the pruning of the waiting period. To surrender to the call on my life, I must claim my father just as he has claimed me.

The fact that God loves me so much that he wants his very best for me. That he gave me the grace of his purpose to fill the voids in my life. There are so many things that I think of that I could be doing right now without him.

But why would I want to be without him? I’ve had a period without him, and it was not the best. I created issues for myself that he had to save me from. That I didn’t have to experience but became the price of doing me.

Thinking about all that ‘me time’ makes me glad that I had those experiences without God because it makes me cherish my life with God even more. Its gives me the strength to have faith in his word even more.

My faith in God is unwavering because I know the power of his name is enough to give strength through his name to the weak.  There is power in his name for the faithless and hope in his name for the hopeless. Even going through day to day  challenges I know  that “The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10

I know that God is working for me. I know that he wouldn’t have place me where I’m at if it wasn’t for a plan. Wasn’t for a purpose. Wasn’t for a vision. I know that I’m safe in his arms because my surrender to him is the key that has unlocked his arms around me.
