Surrender

Five days on the beautiful coast in Florida - and five days of listening, and connecting with God, and with other Student Venture staff leaders. 

A few of the take-home points, from my journal ~

The theme "Unless" - dependence on God alone.

"Unless the Lord builds a house, 

the work of the builders is wasted." 

(Psalm 127:1a)

Unless the Lord builds up this movement, opens up new campuses, etc., the work of our staff is wasted.

The key - dependence on God alone, for everything.

"There was always enough flour and oil left in the container, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah." (I Kings 17:16)

God always gives us what we need for each day, one day at a time.

God calls us to surrender to His Love, to let go,

 to do the back float, to rest in Him.

Live a life that makes known to others the faithfulness of God, a life that shows Him to be who He really is.

Surrender - in contrast to being in control.

Always - the thing I love most about being part of Cru/Student Venture is the focus first of all, on Jesus. Loving Him above all. Growing in intimacy with Him. Feeding on His Word. Letting Him live His life through us.
