Will you surrender all to him? A hero to a generation of people who grew up after World War II, Corrie ten Boom left a legacy of godliness and wisdom. A victim of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, she survived to tell her story of faith and dependence on God during horrendous suffering. “I have held many things in my hands,” Corrie once said, “and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that, I still possess.” Corrie was well acquainted with loss. She lost family, possessions, and years of her life to hateful people. Yet she learned to concentrate on what could be gained spiritually and emotionally by putting everything in the hands of her heavenly Father. What does that mean to us? What should we place in God’s hands for safekeeping? According to the story of the rich young man in Mark 10, everything. He held abundance in his hands, but when Jesus asked him to give it up, he refused. He kept his possessions and he failed to follow Jesus—and as a result he “went away sorrowful” (v.22). Like Corrie ten Boom, we can find hope by putting everything in God’s hands and then trusting Him for the outcome.-David Branon You have heard the phrase, You cant take it with you. No, we cant. When we die, we take only ourselves. We stand before God by ourselves. Will he know you? Have you accepted him into your heart? Have you accepted his grace and mercy? Or, are you clinging to all the material things that this life has to offer. What is first in your life? I hope that it is Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is our refuge and strength. He will provide all that we need. Surrender to him now. I know that it will be the best blessing ever! :) https://youtube/watch?v=HcnfT4arZtI
