This is a guest post by Grace Mutanu.
Friends, family, school, relationships, work, service and many other aspects of my life are the things I try to carry in my little hands. My little hands that were created by a God who created the whole universe, yes my little hands.
These little hands are clenched into fists afraid to let go of my life, a life that was given to me, a life that has an owner, a life that requires to be well lived. God has the script to my story and He knows the end from the beginning,
He is the movie director.
He tells me countless times in His word to trust Him, to give him my life and my everything, yet even then I doubt, I am afraid, imagine that I know better.
On one of the days that I was going through life’s motions and worrying about life, He asked me if I could add a second into my life, or turn a hair on my head white or black, in shame and embarrassment I bowed my head,remained silent, ashamed that I had trusted myself other than the one who knew it all.
He then said, “Give me your life, I know best, unclench your fists and let me be Lord, I have your best interests at heart. ”
So I have decided to open these little hands, my little hands,I am letting Him have everything that I have held back, I’m allowing myself to be vulnerable to Him. I am letting Him put His arms around me, to love on me.
I am allowing Him to break down my walls and go into the places where I am scared to let anyone else in. Yes that is what I will do, not just today, but everyday of my life. I unclench my little hands, and let Him have it all.
