I SURRENDER!

I read something which basically said...whatever happens in your present - the LORD can fix it in your future.

The reality is we often try to fix our own stuff ups and in affect take back control of our future. We don't realise we are changing our future negatively because we actually think we are trying to fix our future, so we can get back on track.

It's our BIGGEST mistake because we are taking back control from the LORD. He has our future already written. The plans he has for us are to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). That future is in the LORD's hands and will stay that way if we trust him in the present.

My best advice to myself and anyone out there is SURRENDER IT TO THE LORD.

But I like to fix things...I stuff up I try to fix it....I see something else stuffed up and I try to fix it. Instead I just make things worse because it was never mine to fix. It was mine to surrender to the LORD. Mine to say 'LORD I stuffed this up, please help me, show me what to do, sorry!' or 'LORD, this is stuffed up, if you want me to do anything about it then show me, otherwise I will leave it in your hands'

I have learnt that as soon as I cast my cares on the LORD I don't have to worry about how to fix it. I leave it with him and soon enough he gives me a solution to what seemed impossible to fix...or he just takes it away completely. And suddenly i have other opportunities opened to me because the LORD has provided a way out for me. He has taken what was for my downfall and turned it into good.

I am no surprise to him - he knew i would stuff up and in my future he planned for it. It's beyond my comprehension. But it works every time. He turns my mistakes into blessings, my failures into life lessons that mould me into a better and stronger person.
