Surrender: All of Me

I am who I am, and it’s not based on anyone else’s beliefs. 

I am who I am because of He who purposed me. 

I am not who I am because of where I’ve been or what others may see outwardly. I am not who I am because of the names that some may have

me in seasons that have drifted far from my now. I am not who I am because I’m so worthy of being me. I am not who I am because I’ve paid a price nor beat the odds stacked against me. I am not who I am based on anything I’ve said or done. 

I am who I am because God envisioned a life for me before I was formed in the womb. A womb that I’m learning was already heavily laden before the thought of me or conception was imagined. Even in that biblically fallen space, God gave me a name, and that is who I am. 

I am a believer. 

I am a woman. 

I am a wife. 

I am a mother. 

I am a daughter, a sister, and a friend. An auntie. 

I am an educated professional with insight and wisdom. 

I am an author. 

I am exactly who God knew I’d be right now. 

And the truth of my today is that I am God’s MASTERPIECE, perfectly and intricately designed and thoughtfully prepared for such a time as this. Prepared for this very space at this present time. That is who I am. 

I am worthy of everything that God has gifted to me and assigned to me to steward in the earth. 

And as I surrender, I’ll keep evolving into who God called me to be from the beginning of time. I’m shifting into believing in God for a space I’ve never walked in before, but I’ve always trusted Him with my life. 

And I trust in Him even more in this space. This very space. Surrendered. 

He’ll never break my heart. He won’t leave me nor forsake me. He cares about me and He cares for me.  He has proven to be my very best friend, and I lay down my life in exchange for what He’s preparing me for. 

I surrender all. As boldly and as unashamed as one can offer themselves, here I am.  

My all.
