Abandoned Heart

There is nothing more beautiful than a heart that has been fully surrendered and abandoned to God. This morning as I stood singing along with the worship band at church, I noticed down in the very front row, standing alone was a young girl about 7 years of age. She was singing praises to the LORD with her little arms fully outstretched, unaware of the adoring glances of others all around her. Her full abandonment to the moment and to the LORD was the most precious sight.
We sang, “I’ll stand with arms high and heart abandoned, in awe of the One who gave it all; I’ll stand, my soul LORD to you surrendered. All I am is yours.”  One by one the arms of others sprang up around the room to join her in surrender to the Savior. Great joy, peace, hope and love are found as we hand our lives over to God’s care and trust Him completely.

Psalm 33:21, In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.
