A surrendered life

As we rise up into the joy of this day, the reality of a life surrendered to the Father is possible.  What we gain when we surrender is amazing grace, love, hope, joy and NEW LIFE in abundance.  Let the old be burned away so the new and true can reign! 

Francis Frangipane captures my heart for today so well:

"Like prospectors of old, you must stake your claim high in the kingdom of God, being ready to defend your rights to the “pure gold” of Heaven (Rev 3:18). And as you pitch your tent at the throne of grace, something eternal will begin to glow in you, like hot coals on a furnace floor. As you persist in faith, the sacred fire of God's presence will consume the wood, hay and stubble of your former ways. Power such as Jesus had will reside in your inner being. Angels will stand in awe, for your gold will be refined, your garments light, and your life holy. -- Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God."
