BELLSHIRE ASSEMBLY

Yesterday we went to Bellshire Assembly.  I love the praise and worship there.  We sang this song:

                                      I'm giving you my heart, and all that is within
                                          I lay it all down for the sake of my King
                                 I'm giving you my dreams, I'm laying down my rights
                                  I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life.

                                           And I surrender all to You, all to You
                                           And I surrender all to You, all to You.

                                      I'm singing You this song, I'm waiting at the cross
                                      And all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss
                                 For the sake of knowing You, for the glory of Your name
                                     To know the lasting joy even sharing in Your pain

                                           And I surrender all to You, all to You
                                           And I surrender all to You, all to You.

Bro. Driver who started the church preached.  He talked about how our natural mind constantly fights against God's way.  That's why it is so important that we "die daily" to ourselves.  If we don't do this daily, our natural mind will rule us, and we will wonder why we are always failing God.  God renews our mind, but we must surrender the natural man to Him daily. 

I really needed that reminder  Sometimes I start out the day running and don't take the time to surrender my will and my mind to God, and at the end of the day I am so frustrated with myself.  We can't think like the world thinks; we must have the mind of Christ.  At the end of every day, I want to know that I have given God my best...my all.
