Surrendered!

"For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." 

-Philippians 2:13

On this new day (and every day...), you and I can REST, assured that we can trust the Spirit's saving work in our Baptism and through the Word. 

The One who saved us and fills us with the desire to be like Jesus is also transforming us in His likeness. 

"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." -Psalm 139:23-24 

Like the Psalmist, we can cry out to God with a repentant heart, knowing His grace covers us as He gives us the strength to live our lives in Christ, SURRENDERED to Him. Even running to Him with reckless abandon!
