Holy Spirit reminded me of a hymn that I heard from childhood, I Surrender All. I am not going to say that all the hymns were anointed by God, but I will say that those hymns that were anointed by God then are still anointed by God now. These anointed hymns were written by people who either had an encounter or a relationship with God. It was out of that encounter and/or relationship that these powerful hymns were written. I am so glad that these men and women did not keep these hymns to themselves, but freely gave as they were freely given. I am grateful that God’s anointing is not like a fleeting or shifting shadow. If what I am saying to you sounds familiar to you it is, but as Paul said in his letter to the Philippians in chapter 3:1 (NIV), “…It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.” Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 (NIV).

To surrender means to give up everything you are and everything you have. It is especially important in our relationship with God because there is nothing we are or have that compares to what we will be and will have in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Philippians 3:1-16 (NIV).

I SURRENDER ALL
