Somewhere In the Middle
If there is one thing college has taught me so far, it would be the lesson that I have absolutely no control in my life. There is a song by Casting Crowns called "Somewhere In the Middle." Part of the song's lyrics say, "Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control." This line really hit me hard today.
How often do I say, "I'm yours Lord" and then continue to tell Him things that I don't want Him to change or take from me? I do this more than I care to admit. When it all comes down to it, though, I need to give Him everything. If I don't, then there is no risk, no sacrifice and above all, no trust with God. The Lord has been showing me over and over, I can't just surrender the parts of my life that I am willing to. I need to surrender ALL I am to Him. Only then, will I truly find peace and security.
