one of the greatest barrier that
keeps you from surrendering your life totally to GOD is resentment. resentment against GOD.
you may not want to admit this but there’s some things in your life that you’re mad at GOD about. you still blame HIM for those disappointments. you’re upset with HIM because life hasn’t turned out the way you wanted it to. and that underlying resentment keeps you from totally surrendering to GOD. you’re mad at GOD. you’re blaming HIM for your unhappiness.
let’s get real practical. what is it in your life that you’re still angry at GOD about?
can a CHRISTian be angry at GOD? without a doubt! some of you are angry at the way GOD made you look. you don’t like your appearance. “why didn’t GOD make me more beautiful? why didn’t GOD make me like_______? then my life would be great. you don’t like the way you look and you’re still mad at GOD because GOD made you the way you look.
some of you are still resentful at “why didn’t GOD give me different parents? my dad – my mom ... they’re looney!”
some of you are disappointed in your marriage. it’s not at all what you expected it to be and you’re blaming GOD for it.
some of you are still resentful about a handicap or a birth defect or a business you’ve started and failed or a marriage that failed or the fact that you’re not married and you’re still single. what are you carrying resentment at GOD over?
what are you still angry at GOD about? that kind of thing is keeping you in turmoil, keeping you at war with GOD and keeping you from experiencing the love and peace that HE wants to pour out in your life. that unfulfilled dream and you’re mad at GOD about it.
listen, don’t blame GOD. just relax and say, “GOD! YOUr will be done! YOUr kingdom come. i accept YOUr plan. i surrender to YOUr control,” because the war with GOD is keeping you from peace.
sometimes you go out and in all sincerity you pray, you work, you think you’re on the right thing and you go out and do what you think GOD wants you to do and it flat out bombs! what do you do with that? don’t worry. it’s all a part of GOD’s plan and HE’s moving you to where HE wants to take you.
just a thought from the front porch…
