Surrender
My apologies for the recent string of posts relating to the topic of romantic love. I've decided that I've exhausted the topic and any meaningful discourse has long since been minimal, judging by the responses that have been received. It would be pointless to continue on when neither side would appear to be cogent to other, and when such elaboration is ultimately futile. Since I have given up on this aspect of my life, henceforth shall I desist from comment in regard to the aforementioned topic.Away from these foolish games shall we ride, away from the snares and shackles - loosening winter's chill grasp. That which was the winter of our discontent shall be mine to bear, with the Lord my only strength and refuge. Oh, how lonely the road with shadows and whispers for companions. How lonely the mist-laden air. The road before me lays both barren and fallow. What is left but to pull free of the entangling webs, the thorns like dull sickles, unable to shear clean through. What is left but the rending of flesh and sinew, the surrender of my own might and fortitude. O Lord my heart is laid bare to you. Purge it of all that is unclean, that which is impure. In your loving hands I place myself O Lord, my creator and sustainer, sovereign Lord of all. To you be all glory, honour and praise.

i feel similar..
sometimes you know you should give up something yet you hang on to it even a small piece of it thinking it is good for you, but we really should be giving everything for God and knowing that he will provide what is best for us :)
I learnt in BSF today that I too, am like Esau, thinking in a short-term minded way.. seeking immediate pleasures instead of the promises of God, and what i should be doing.
I think I hold onto too much as well... and I dont know how to let go, esp since what I hold onto is not really sinful or wrong... so hard!
its good to see you putting things back to God... not easy, but its good to see you trying.
yes! true
when it's the grey area.. and you aren't sure.. you tend to hold on a bit
but then in a way.. it might affect you.. so you do need to think about what it does to your life
