A PURE HEART – HOW CAN WE HAVE IT?

The Act of Complete Surrender

One day, a preacher by the name of William Sangster, visited a young girl named Jessie in the hospital at a time when the doctors were struggling in vain to keep her from becoming blind. With sadness, the little girl said to him, “God is going to take away my sight.” After thinking silently for a moment he answered compassionately, “Don’t let Him take it from you Jessie. Give it to Him.” “I don’t understand,” she responded. So he explained, “Try to pray this prayer: ‘Father, if I must lose my sight, help me to give it to You.”

The whole test of Abraham in the verse above involves the act of complete surrender or letting go. We like to be in control. It’s hard to let go. When we are young especially we have these visions and dreams of how our life will go, but it often doesn’t turn out that way. We fight to hold on and control all that we can as we see things slipping instead of handing them over to God. This will only make us struggle. Just like Abraham, we need to learn to surrender them all to the Lord Who has everything in His hand.
