A WHITE FLAG
Today's reading:  Jeremiah 37-41

"But I am afraid to surrender, the king said..."  Jeremiah 38:19 NLT

In the same boat the king's in?

Want to give it all, lock, stock and barrel, to God--but there are a pile of 'buts' you can list?

You would give your life completely to Him, but what if He asks you to do something hard, unusual, risky or outside your comfort zone?

You would give your worries, fears and doubts 100% to Him, but what would you do with all your spare time if you didn't have to worry and fret?

You would give the weaknesses of your heart, head and body to Him, but you wonder who you might become if He were to really take them all? 

You would surrender all you have, all you want, everything you dream of and everything you have stuffed in that closet of yours, but you're afraid?

Here's a white flag, dear friend.  Wave it.  Give in to what you know will be the best decision you'll ever make.  Push aside all that's hindered you before and wave the white flag of surrender to God!
