RELINQUISH

I understand mankind and I know that one of the major problems that hinder people from glorifying Me in their words and deeds is the inability to relinquish ownership of their lives to Me. I often hear phrases like, "This is my money" or "This is my life." I want you and all of My beloved to understand that I own everything. I own the cattle on a thousand hills. I own the universe. When I died on the tree to forgive you of all your sins, I bought you with a great price. That price was My very own blood.

Your life is hid with Me in My Father's heart. The "me" and "mine" has to go in your life. Your life is not your own because I own your life. However, I do not see you as a slave that has been bought for service. No! I see you as a friend and as beloved adopted sons and daughters. When you release your ownership of everything to Me, then you position yourself to receive grace upon grace, upon grace. The only thing that stands in the way of your receiving the grace from Me that will supply your every need, is your desire to hold on to things and your desire to even hold on to those your love. Relinquish all to Me and you will see the unending power of My grace supplied to you. Relinquishing all to Me means that you can receive all from Me.
