Unveiling the Path of Faith: Surrender, Grace, and the Journey to a Wondrous Life
Faith empowers us to seek God’s presence, not through our own efforts, but by surrendering our burdens, opening our hearts, and experiencing the awe-inspiring grace that propels us towards a wondrous life.
“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
Romans 3:20 NIV
When we have faith, we sometimes tend to believe that to experience God’s amazing work, we need to pray and keep the words of the Bible in mind. Sometimes, when we take on a lot of tasks to increase our own faith and find ourselves unable to handle them, we tend to blame ourselves.
But here’s the thing: God doesn’t give us grace just because we’ve done something. God is always trying to bring the best things into our lives. No matter how much we try to do this or that, there will always be things we can’t accomplish. That’s why God doesn’t work in a way that says, “If you do something, if you practice something, if you study the Bible super intensely, then God will give you a fantastic outcome.”
All you need to do is turn to God. By handing over our burdens to Him and simply relaxing while being open to Him, our connection with God becomes stronger. As you come to realize the magnitude and wonder of God’s work, you’ll naturally seek Him in various ways. It could be through music, finding a special place, a certain gesture, or simply lying down quietly and meditating.
If you can experience a wonderful sense of peace and joy welling up in your heart by directing your attention to God and maintaining a sense of His presence, then you’ll naturally seek it more and more, and it will drive you to take action. When you open your heart and receive the amazing grace from God, you’ll be used by Him more and more, and a truly wonderful life will unfold!
