To look in the face of an unknown future
And laugh at the idea
That you think you know how the light will break the darkness;
To open both hands with both eyes closed
And to be okay with the way all the pieces fall
So that they can be put back together again;
To fight every fiber that wants to hold on for dear life
And rest with confidence in the truth that you don’t have to;
To believe that even though you thought it was up to you,
You had no control to begin with;
To feel a weight lifted knowing you were wrong and it’s okay because you tried;
To fall at His feet and realize you never want to love anything more than you love Him
Ever again.
This is surrender.
