I Surrender All

I surrender all...

Just because I want something doesn't mean I have to have it.

It sounds simple but it took me a looong time to figure that one out!

Ha!

I'm still figuring that one out.

Sure, our Father gives us the desires of our heart on many occasions but as a good parent, He knows WHAT we need and WHEN we need it!

What, where, when... remember that from school?

Thank you, Lord.

I surrender all-

even the good things.

Please help my friends to surrender too.

Thanks.
