Giving up

Give up the struggle and the fight;
relax in the omnipotence of the Lord Jesus;
look up into His lovely face and as you behold Him,
He will transform you into His likeness.
You do the beholding--He does the transforming.
There is no short-cut to holiness.
Alan Redpath

    This is the second post in 2 mins to say something similar and remind me of the following text: "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength" -- Isaiah 30:15

    Your title brought me here from Still Saturday, and I was not disappointed. You are so right. As God remakes us, He absorbs more and more of what was once our old flesh,and makes us more and more into His own light. Giving up, indeed. Not defeat, not by any means.

    His continuation of transformation of my body, soul, and spirit is one of the most glorious blessings of my life. Thank you.

    I LOVE the name of your blog
    and send you glad thanks
    for the beautiful stir
    ....going palms up
    and heart grinning light
    with surrender
    as your post
    reminds me again
    to put my hands in the air:):):)
    joy to you,
    Jennifer

As we travel on the road our Lord has placed before us, it's nice to meet a friend along the way. Thank you for stopping to leave a few or many words, I'm always interested to read your thoughts.
blessings and love,
in His service,
in the fire,
