I am really in love with how straight forward God is in the Bible. God says some amazing things in the text, " Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" WHOA! When I read that God just rocked my face off. Somewhere deep inside of me I always thought that God wanted to bring peace to everyone. But really God wants us to surrender our life to Him. Not peace, just fully committing our life to God. Can this be done? I really think that we can fully surrender our life to Him. It takes trust, it is a lifestyle change from the world, and it takes faith! Yeah, we might hit some bumps a bruises on the way but we really can surrender ourself to him. I have realized over the years that I am ultimately happy when I fully surrender myself to God. God has never guaranteed that I would have it easy, have tons of money, or be safe when I do this. But He has guaranteed me that He is faithful to me and will always be there when I am running after Him.

This is a reflection of Matthew 10: 32-42
