Posted in Spiritual Revelations from Our Awesome God

There was a particular area in our marriage that I was holding back. There was something my husband desired from me that I would not give him. I had my reasons. Really, we just disagreed. He wanted things one way, I wanted them another. But several months ago, I made a decision to surrender that area to him. I let go of my reasons and my will and gave him what he desired. I was completely amazed by the blessings that followed that decision. Our marriage began to bloom and grow in new ways.

Soon afterward, the Lord drew a parallel for me. As we sang the song "I Surrender All" in church, the Lord spoke to my heart about surrendering myself to Him. All of me. All my hopes and fears. My very life. If I could surrender it all to Him like I surrendered that area to my husband, blessing would follow. It was truly a revelation.

It is a matter of trust. My husband loves me and wants what's best for me. When I was willing to believe that and trust him, blessing followed. The Lord loves us and wants what's best for us. When we hold back, he is unable to bless us. But if we will surrender ourselves to Him, then we open the door of blessing.
