Resigning my will. This phrase has been resonating in my heart and mind milling around in the recesses of my soul because I am convinced by no one other than myself that when I resign my will, every aspect of me, I will live in the total peace of God, the peace that He has had for me all along. I will no longer superficially resign or submit my will to God, but I mean totally. Why not trust my future to the All-Knowing God?
The unnecessary stress and turmoil I have experienced to date has all been self-imposed…Such negativity was able to take root because I did not see myself as God sees me. I rated myself or held myself according to, again, self-imposed standards that unrealistically caused me to view and to consider myself through lenses obstructed with low self-esteem.
I will no longer apologize for who God created me to be. I will live unapologetically with bold, yet humbled, assurance that God has equipped me for this very moment and the moments that extend beyond. The least I can do is resign my will to the God who has always had my best interest at heart. What is so amazing is that God loves all of us so much. His love for us is not an infinite concept, but a reality that is infinite. He loves us individually, collectively, and simultaneously. There is nothing we can do to separate from His Love (Romans 8:35).
He loves us beyond all man-made methods of measurement. Resign your will to Him. He can more than handle it. Take the measurements off of Him. Who am I to place God in a box? The Creator of everything? All things? Me? The Creator who grants free thinking? Why in my narrow frame of mind or skewed perception would I limit and confine Him? Why will I not experience the life He has for me? What other choices do I have? Will I continue to run into a brick wall, which is totally at my discretion? Or will I rEsIgN my life to Him?
