Dear God, I surrender!

I've been reading a wonderful book, Surrender by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I chose to read this book because i had been struggling with fully surrendering ALL i have to God because it all belongs to God. I have been learning that my life belongs to God and that i am a slave to him and i am to do his will. I love this book because in the beginning of the chapter it gives a real life story about a person who struggled with full surrender in different ways. This book is very applicable to my life right now and my favorite quote that i am choosing to live by is this:
"I have been before God, and have given myself, all that i am and have, to God; so that i am not, in any respect, my own... i have given myself clear away, and have not retained and thing as my own." - Jonathan Edwards

Thankful to have been RANSOMED

About 4 years ago in my old house i prayed a prayer of forgiveness and a prayer pleading for a savior named Jesus Christ!!!
I was saved and i am more than thankful to the Lord because he chose to love me and work in my life when i didnt deserve it and never will!! Because of the salvation i have in Christ i am different and live to glorify him!! I now that i fail him daily but because i trust that his sacrifice on the cross was enough to wash my sins away i am cleansed for all that i have done will do in the future!
Thank you Lord!!
