From Lost To Found - Surrender

For a long time, I didn’t understand that the world we live in is both a spiritual and physical. I had it backwards, I thought spirituality was small and limited, and the physical was where “real life” happened. What I didn’t know back then was that the opposite is true — it’s the physical that’s limited, while the spiritual is eternal and unshakable. 

I heard about God, but I never really tried to know Him for myself. When I did go to church I took what the Pastor said as if he was God himself, but I know better now. As I grew older, I still kept Him at a distance. He wasn’t first in my life. I thought I could handle things on my own, and I was so wrong to think this way, so I never invited Him into my struggles, my decisions, or my pain.

Here’s what I’ve come to realize: God saw me all along. He knew where I was, what I was facing, and what I needed. But He didn’t step in — not because He didn’t care, but because He is who He is. He won’t force Himself where He isn’t welcomed. He is patient, gentle, and waiting.

That’s the beautiful part of who God is: He stands at the door and knocks. But it’s up to us to open the door. Who has ears to hear, let him hear. I wasn't giving Him a chance to show me who He was, I thought there was another way.

Why the Invitation Matters

God gives us free will, and doesn’t demand your trust; He waits for it. He doesn’t barge into your life; He responds when you call. When we choose to invite Him in, everything shifts. Burdens that felt unbearable become lighter. Problems that felt impossible gain new perspective. Peace replaces chaos.

This doesn’t mean life becomes easy or perfect, far from it. But it does mean you no longer walk alone. You no longer have to carry everything in your own strength. He is a very present help in times of need.

A Call to Action

If you’re weary, if you’re struggling, if you’re tired of being tired and searching — know this: God is waiting. He’s not far. He’s closer than you think, and He’s ready to move in your life the moment you ask Him to.

 Scripture to Reflect On

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me.” — Revelation 3:20

A Simple Prayer

God, I invite You into my heart and into every area of my life. I give You my burdens, my pain, my decisions, and my future. Thank You for waiting on me with love. Today, I open the door.
