Heart Abandoned

A line in a favorite worship song of mine says, "And I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned in awe of the One who gave it all." This week, God has been showing me a little bit about what it means to live with my heart abandoned to Him. Do I really trust Him to the extent that I fully surrender my heart-- all of my feelings, emotions, and fears--to His hands to hold? When circumstances tempt me to doubt His goodness, even His faithfulness, I find that if I only abandon my heart to Him, I can leave those fears and doubts behind. Abandonment. Easy to sing, but very hard to live.
