Lordship allows for God to release blessings in your life; not because of your efforts, but because your heart realizes that He is good and full of love and that your best interest is His priority. When we can surrender and allow God to rule and reign over our lives, we leave our hearts open and vulnerable for him to work in our lives. He removes the things that hurt us and puts in things that are good and make us more like Christ. Lordship is not something to be feared, but something to rejoice in. Our response to the gospel of His goodness results in our lives being transformed. A life transformed into his glorious Son, Jesus, the lover of our souls.
No longer do I need to be worried when things don’t work out the way I intended, but I can be at peace because I know God is in control of my life and not me. I get the pleasure of resting in Him and watching Him amaze me with His goodness. I get to sit in his arms and watch in awe as he restores my life and demonstrates miracles after miracles, with each storm. I no longer have to allow fear to grip my heart, but allow his love to comfort and sooth me because I am protected. I am in a safe place.
Most of us love that Jesus is our Savior, but when it comes to Him being Lord of our lives, we run away from it. It was when I finally submitted and allowed God to have complete control of my life that I begun to see amazing things happen. This is where the growth began to take place. I had to make a choice of continuing to live life my way, that produced no fruit, or start living for God and trusting Him with everything. Taking this heart action was the beginning of a life journey of submitting, trusting, obeying, receiving, growing, and experiencing him. It is a continuous process. It is a beautiful process that bears much fruit.
